NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS – What began as a simple attempt at a shortcut turned into a painful ordeal for one woman in Newton when she became impaled on a black iron fence Friday. The shocking moment, captured on video and later shared on TikTok, has since gone viral, drawing both sympathy and sharp criticism.
The Incident
According to witnesses, the woman tried to hop over a low fence near a sidewalk, assuming it would be an easy move. She successfully swung one leg over, but as she shifted her weight, her foot struck the gate’s edge, throwing her off balance. In seconds, she slipped, and her right calf was pierced by one of the fence’s pointed ends.
The video shows her grimacing in pain while struggling to free herself. Her frantic movements only worsened the injury as the metal dug deeper. Eventually, a passerby rushed in to help carefully lift her leg free.
Viral Reaction on Social Media
The woman later posted the video on TikTok, where it quickly spread across platforms. Many users winced, saying the clip was too painful to watch. Some offered sympathy, while others criticized her decision.
