Boy, 13, told he may lose his foot after trying to 'crush vape pen like a Coke can'

A 13-year-old boy was told his foot could have been amputated after a vape pen became impaled in it.

Harley Bennett was out with friends when he found a discarded Elf Bar vape pen on the ground underneath a subway. The teenager stood the vape up and stamped on it in an attempt to crush it 'like a Coke can'.

But the disposable e-cigarette didn't smash, and instead pierced straight through his trainer, his sock and into his skin. Harley's mum Samantha Robinson rushed to the scene after her son's friend called her.
