NEW YORK — A teenager horsing around with a friend in Queens was impaled when he stumbled into a wrought iron fence — and then freed by a quick-thinking group of New York’s bravest before being rushed to the hospital, likely saving his life.

When a bizarre accident in Queens left a teenager impaled by a fence, a swift-acting FDNY rescue team helped save his life. Impaled on a wrought iron fence, a 15-year-old boy walking home from school Tuesday afternoon ended up with a metal spike piercing his left leg.
