WINDSOR, Ont. – Police say two boys won’t be facing charges after a nine-year-old girl was injured when she stepped on a board filled with nails that they’d placed in a Windsor, Ont., park.

Investigators say the girl suffered minor injuries Sunday when she stepped on the board, which had been concealed in a hole dug in the ground.

They say officers spoke with two boys responsible for the board after receiving a call from a parent on Monday evening.

Police say the boys had been playing in the park and set the board with nails in a hole with the intention of catching rodents.

They say the boys were extremely remorseful and informed their parents as soon as they realized someone had been injured.
