The mischievous nature of children can sometimes leave them in bewildering situations.
On 5 June, one unfortunate boy in Malaysia had to learn a painful lesson about not playing on fences after he lost his grip while climbing across his home fence.
This resulted in his buttocks getting pierced by a long spike on the fence.
Firefighters eventually rescued the boy after 20 excruciating minutes.
According to China Press, the 12-year-old boy was climbing the fence at his home in Selangor, Malaysia.
While doing so, he lost his balance and landed on his buttocks on 15cm fence spikes.

He continuously bled from the impalement and started crying in pain.
However, he dared not move as the spike was deeply lodged within him.

His mother was not home at the time, so neighbours were the ones who found him and called for help.
According to neighbours, the boy often played around the fences.
According to Bernama, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Wan Md Razali Wan Ismail said 10 firefighters from the Sungei Besar Fire and Rescue Station rushed to the location of the incident.
