While out for exercise, most would take the time to relax or let out some tension in the form of working out or jogging. However, unfortunate incidents are still bound to happen along the way too.
A young man was nearly left injured after his foot landed right on top of a nail which was placed across a stretch of road while he was jogging, leading many to believe that the nails weren’t placed there by accident.
M’sian man steps on nail during jog, injures foot
In a TikTok video shared by @aaameirrr___ yesterday (Aug 19), he showed viewers how his foot was injured while out for a jog in Rawang.
At the start of the clip, he bent down and gestured to a nail which could be seen embedded into the tar road with its tip being cut off before showing three other nails that were laid out in similar fashion along the road.
He also revealed that the fourth nail was lodged right into the sole of his sport shoes, which inevitably pierced his foot as well.
To prove how close he was to getting injured by the nail, @aaameirrr___ lifted his left foot and said that it nearly bled when the nail made its way through his shoe.
He then added that he had previously heard of other being injured in a same manner in the news but never expected he would fall victim to it.
Act of sabotage?
The clip has since gone viral since it was uploaded, where it garnered 1.8 million views at the time of writing.
In the comment section, a majority of netizens believed that the nails were purposely placed along the road by towing companies in order to make a quick buck out of road users whose tyres got punctured by the nails.
One jokingly commented that others will now have to wear safety boots instead of regular sport shoes when jogging.
Meanwhile, some also urged @aaameirrr___ to lodge a police report in order to prevent others from getting hurt by the nails.

Coincidentally, the location where this incident took place was the same as another M’sian who got injured by nails too:
