Cape Town – A video showing a garbage collector who discovered an old cricket bat while collecting trash and accidentally hit a passerby with it, has gone viral on social media.
In the video, the worker decides to try using the bat and swings it aggressively.
However, he loses control of the bat, and it hits a woman on the head, knocking her out.
The video, which first appeared on a Twitter account called @kakspotter has sparked mixed reactions, with some finding it funny and others expressing concern for the woman’s well-being.

The woman’s condition remains unknown.
It is also not clear when the incident occurred.
? I think this is the sign the umpire uses for when the bat goes over the boundary ????

This was a genuine accident and the gentleman had no intention to injure or hit the lady with the bat.
