Police find 19 razor blades planted in grass at Bonita Cove Park, 2 boys hurt

SAN DIEGO - For the fourth time in just over a year, someone planted several razor blades face up in the grass at Bonita Cove in Mission Bay just feet from a playground. This time, two boys were injured.

Cassie Padilla's two sons, aged 7 and 15, were playing barefoot in Bonita Cove Park on Wednesday when both stepped on razor blades.

"The 7-year-old was actually embedded in his foot," said San Diego police Lt. Paul Phillips. "Paramedics were able to pull the razor blade out."

A 10News crew saw a relative carry the boy to his mother's truck. Paramedics had bandaged his foot at the scene. Then inside the truck, there were tears. His mother took him to UCSD Medical Center where he would be stitched up.

Padilla said, "It's pretty crazy. His (razor blade) was probably sticking up. It's really bad."

Since I keep being told that my town does not matter. Suffice to say, the last time was at Mission Bay, about 10 miles up the coast

When kids can't run around bare-footed, it's a real pity.
