A 25-year-old Myanmar painter working in Thailand suffered severe burns after being electrocuted while painting the exterior of a building in Bangkok on Tuesday.

The painter was suspended by ropes outside the building when a rope reportedly swung into a high-voltage power line, causing a powerful electric shock.

The worker was left hanging from the building with flames visible before rescuers brought him down.

He sustained burns to about 70% of his body and was rushed to a Hospital for treatment.
