On the first bridge run after [[Kaladin]]'s promotion to bridgeleader, Leyten dropped after taking two arrow wounds in his shoulder and the opposite arm. Another arrow grazed his stomach and his left leg was trampled by a horse. [[Teft]] and [[Rock]] carried Leyten to Kaladin, who insisted on treating his wounds. Leyten fell unconscious and Kaladin feared he wouldn’t make it. However, he still pulled the arrows free from his arms and cauterized the wounds, then splinted Leyten’s leg using the arrow shafts and cauterized that wound as well, saving the man’s life. The crew brought him back to the barracks by tying him to the top of their bridge while they ran and then quickly untying him before the army crossed.{{book ref|sa1|17}}
Leyten’s wounds soon became infected, causing Kaladin to enlist Rock and Teft to help collect [[knobweed]] sap for its antiseptic qualities. The knobweed sap worked, and soon Leyten was up and about, though he initially had a lot of trouble walking due to his crushed leg.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|32}}
