A motorbike rider claims he was almost killed while riding in west Auckland when he rode into a piece of fishing line that had been deliberately strung across the road.
The man posted to a Kumeu social media group that he was riding on Old North Rd in Kumeu when he encountered two early teens holding fishing line at neck height from one side of the road to the other.
The line "almost killed me", he wrote. "Now I've a stuffed bike, oil pissing out, broken indicator and no back brakes."
He had tracked down the pair and their parents, he said.
