Narrative

An employee was carrying a mirror into an apartment building through an interior staircase. As the employee was entering the doorway, the mirror inadvertently hit the doorframe. This caused the mirror to break. A portion of the mirror fell and lacerated the employee's left forearm, severing arteries and cutting two nerves.
