Before the incident

My little finger is hurting so bad. The part went in two different places on my finger and it was bleeding. I work in Rev C in Chassis and was working the Tow Hook job where I install two tow hooks by gunning them down and I also install a bar by putting two additional screws to secure it. When I picked up the two tow hooks there is a sharp part of the tow hook I grabbed the round part of the tow hook and as I was putting it onto the truck the two bumped together and my left pinky finger got caught in between. The sharp part of the tow hook stabbed my finger through my glove. I immediately told my supervisor and he sent me to medical. I wrapped my finger with tissue paper and held it to stop the bleeding.
