Tot slashes leg on broken glass ‘left deliberately’ on children’s slide

A BLOODSTAINED tot was rushed to hospital after slashing her leg on glass thought to have been deliberately left on a play park slide.

Amy Smith's two-year-old toddler Demi-Mai was playing on a slide in Kitson Park, Torquay on Sunday when she slid over a broken bottle.

It is thought the glass was smashed and left on the slide on purpose.

Demi-Mai needed treatment for the wound to her leg at nearby Torbay Hospital.

“I'm really angry that someone would do that in a children's play park," Amy said.

“I was so proud of Demi as she had just learnt to climb up the rope that leads up to the slide.
