Ouch! Tree surgeon needs his own surgeon after fall onto spikes!

A worker pruning a tree at a house in Nonthaburi fell and impaled himself on the spikes of a gate.

The 44 year old man was working alone after being hired by the house owner who alerted Poh Teck Tung rescue. 

A report on the site of Rescue Thailand Club on Facebook said that the rescue work was hampered by a colony of red ants. 

After cutting the man free in 15 minutes he was rushed to the Phra Nang Klao Hospital with three spikes still embedded in his back. They said it was a race against time.

The incident happened on Thursday morning in a house in Soi 10 of the Nonthaburi bypass road.
