Young boy faceplants on pickup truck tailgate while playing indoor football

This is the moment a young boy faceplanted on a pickup truck tailgate while playing indoor football in southern Thailand.

CCTV video footage shows the six-year-old boy named Furqan running with his elder sister in the family’s garage in Narathiwat province on April 9. He tried to kick the ball hard but ended up knocking his face on the pickup’s tailgate.

The youngster was seen crying and rubbing the back of his head as his family comforted him after the nasty fall.

Onlooker Sofia Wahama said: ‘I was shocked seeing it all happened. I’m just glad Furqan only had a bruise on his forehead. It could have been a lot worse.’

The youngster was treated for the bruise at home but was otherwise unhurt.
