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,

First responders used bandages to wrap the fence to the teen's leg, and then onto the backboard, the FDNY said. Officials credited the boy with staying calm throughout the 10-minute process of getting him free, saying it made rescuers' jobs that much easier.

Authorities say the teen was impaled by an iron fence at a playground in Queens near 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
