Teenager Running From Cops Impales Himself On Fence
Oregon - A handcuffed teenager under arrest for assault attempted to flee police as he was about to be transported in a patrol car. He became impaled on an iron fence that he tried to jump over.
Officers were attempting to place Cody Charles Carllson, 18, in the back of a patrol car when he bolted and tried to vault an iron fence at the police station.
Carllson's hands were cuffed behind his back at the time.
Carllson did not clear the fence and became impaled on it. Forest Grove Fire Department teams responded and had to cut away a section of the fence so that Carllson could be freed.
Carllson and a small section of the fence were transported to a Portland hospital.
No details of Carllson's condition were immediately available, but he is expected to survive his injuries.
Carllson was arrested on assault early Thursday morning on charges for an incident in May of 2005. Police say he stabbed another person in the back with some gardening shears.
