It is the second time in two weeks that Craig has been injured during filming. A week ago his face was cut and required eight stitches.
But after the injury to his hand in the morning he was back on set to resume filming in the afternoon.
"There was quite a lot of blood and it was decided he needed to go to hospital for emergency treatment," explained a member of the Bond production team. A spokesman for production company Eon said that the actor was taken to see a doctor as "a precaution".
