Biker says almost decapitated by fishing line near Gombak DUKE

PETALING JAYA: A university student says he was "almost decapitated" after riding into a fishing line hung across a motorcycle lane near the DUKE Highway exit in Gombak.

In the incident which occurred on Monday (Sept 17) at 6.30pm, Mohamad Afiq Izwan Ismail said the fishing line was hung near the exit before the turn into the Taman Rowther and Taman Koperasi Polis 1 in Gombak.

"This is not a myth, as it happened to me. 

"There's some heartless human being who placed this trap near the corner ... this is a fishing line, which is rough," he said, adding that many were afraid to use the motorcycle lane in the area, as they might be snared and mugged by such traps.

Mohamad Afiq wrote in his Facebook account that he suffered a cut on his neck and that his helmet was damaged in the incident.

"It's painful!" he wrote.
