Man's Cell Phone Explodes As He Talks On It

Mobile Phone Explodes in Hong Kong


HONG KONG (AP) - A mobile phone exploded Tuesday and slightly injured the man who had been talking into it, local broadcasters reported.

The man was standing in line at a bank when the phone mysteriously blew up, Commercial Radio and television ATV reported.



ATV showed footage of phone pieces laying on the floor of the bank lobby, with police gathered around the scene.

``I was just calling my boss to say I would be returning to work a few minutes late, and when I pressed the button to hang up, the phone was suddenly flying everywhere,'' the man told ATV.


The broadcast reports gave no indication about how it could have exploded, but many similar accidents have been attributed to faulty or counterfeit batteries.


The man, who was not identified, said he was only slightly hurt, with some slivers of telephone parts getting into his eye and scraping his hand. He said he bought the phone secondhand.


Police did not immediately answer when The Associated Press rang seeking comment.

it's sort of happened b4 somewhere. the batteries in mobile phones are highly complex and very rarely they can screw up and explode.
