A woman has been injured by fishing line which was strung up at neck height across a pathway in Adelaide's south, in an incident now being investigated by police.
The woman was walking along a trail at Christie Downs on Sunday morning when she collided with the snare, which left her with a grazed neck.
Police were called to the scene, off Flaxmill Road near Paul Court, about 11:00am and said fishing line had also been tied across the driveway of a house.
The line was removed and police have spoken to locals.
"It is concerning and dangerous behaviour that could cause serious injury to a cyclist or pedestrian," a police spokesperson said.
An image of the woman's injury was shared on the Christies Beach Community Group's Facebook page, which warned other residents in the area and shared a message from the victim.
"This morning I walked into two [lines on] the pathway between Paul Court and Flaxmill Road near the baseball oval," the woman said.
"Police were called to remove as there was lots, all at neck height."
The post has attracted more than 200 comments, with some locals reporting other instances of fishing line being tied up around the neighbourhood.
Others described the unknown perpetrators' actions as "sick" and "messed up".
"This happened a while back in our street. I caught them as they were just starting to tie the line up," one person commented.
"Thank you so much for making everyone aware. So, so dangerous," another said.
Police have asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
