A man who crashed an allegedly stolen motorcycle on NSW's south coast also copped some rough justice as he lay impaled on a garden spike - somebody punched him.
Police allege the 39-year-old took the bike and was riding around Greenwell Point, east of Nowra, about 1.45pm yesterday when the crash occurred.
As he hit the ground, he became impaled on a wooden garden spike.
But then someone - thought to be the bike's owner - turned up and allegedly punched him in the face.
Fairfax newspapers report the motorcycle, believed to be a Harley-Davidson, had vanished from the scene by the time emergency services arrived. And so had the alleged thief's wallet.
"The spike went in at his armpit and out through near his shoulder blade," an Ambulance Service of NSW spokesman said.
"He was transported to a nearby oval where there was a rendezvous with an air ambulance.
"He had some serious injuries but was conscious and stable."
The man was airlifted to Sydney's St George Hospital and remained in a stable condition today.
Police said charges had yet to be laid.
ho. dont you think it could have been the owner that got the bike and the arseholes wallet?
It wasn't the owner,because the pricks still alive.
