He told the police that he had drunk alcohol and later was found with a blood alcohol level of 2.32 g/L. He was unable to produce any identification documents for the police, so the police charged him with drunk driving and driving without a license. In response to the incident, the Macau Red Cross has suspended the man’s employment.
