David Hasselhoff injured

Actor David Hasselhoff was rushed to a London hospital on Thursday after slicing his hand open during a bathroom accident.

The 53-year-old "Baywatch" star, who is currently in the British capital to shoot an advertising campaign, was taken from his hotel to St. Thomas' Hospital for emergency surgery.

Hasselhoff severe a tendon on shards from a glass shelf, which he accidentally smashed on the restroom wall while shaving.

A hospital aide tells British newspaper The Sun, "David was about to shave when he hit his head on a shelf, which shattered. His hand was cut quite badly."
