PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An employee at a local grocery store is being treated at OHSU after getting their hand stuck in a meat tenderizer on Thursday, according to Portland Fire & Rescue.

Officials say four fingers on the victim's right hand were entrapped in the machine up to the second knuckle.

Personnel from Portland Fire & Rescue reportedly used an angle grinder to make a relief cut of the tenderizer, which helped them be able to force the machine open to remove the victim's hand.

The victim was then taken to the OHSU Trauma Center.
