A WOMAN was injured today (Saturday May 23) after stepping on an iron bar which became embedded in her foot as she walked along a Bromsgrove street.

The vicitm, aged in her 30s, was pushing her young child in a pram and walking her dog along Shaw Lane in Stoke Prior when the accident happened just before 10am this morning.

She didn’t notice the two-foot iron bar on the floor before stepping on it, causing it to go through the sole of her foot.

Firefighters from Bromsgrove used pedal cutters to remove the bar and she was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.
