A newly surfaced report features disturbing details of a workplace accident that occurred at Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, Texas in 2021.

Company documents reviewed by The Daily Mail's Matthew Phelan tell of workers witnessing a robot designed to move car parts grab one of their colleagues and sink its claws into his arm and back, pinning him in place. According to the report, the robot gouged an "open wound" into the worker and left a "trail of blood" on the factory floor. The engineer did not require time off, according to Phelan's review of the injury report.
