TORONTO – In what can only be described as a sick prank, a 2-year-old in East Moline, Illinois was injured Monday after someone glued a dozen razor blades to playground equipment at a local park.
According to police, the blades were found attached to monkey bars and a slide with a white, putty-like substance. They were also discovered on the ground.
