Brake lever embedded in boy's leg in Wickhamford

The boy had come off his bike in woods in Wickhamford near Evesham in Worcestershire on Thursday afternoon.
Emergency crews walked about half a mile to reach the boy before cutting the lever from the bike.
With the lever still embedded in his leg, the boy was carried through the woods on a stretcher and then airlifted to hospital.
