A 28YO Perth Man Has Lost His Eye After He Was Hit By A Flying Potato While Riding An E-Scooter

Perth
Two men have been charged after allegedly firing potatoes at mates riding e-scooters along the Perth coast, leaving one of them without an eye after it had to be surgically removed. Per WAToday, two men in their twenties were riding rental e-scooters along the footpath of West Coast Drive in Trigg on May 20. As the pair neared Mettams Pool, occupants in a passing car allegedly threw, or fired a potato at the e-scooters. It struck a 28-year-old man and he sustained serious facial injuries and a fractured arm. His eye was injured so severely that it had to be surgically removed. What an absolutely tragic freak accident. One wouldn’t expect to be hit with a flying potato while riding an e-scooter near the truly gorgeous Mettams Pool.
