In an infuriating incident, a father was left with severely sliced, blood coated hands after he had hit his hand on an open razor blade that was hidden in a children's swing at a kid's park. It is being believed that the razor was placed there by some notorious people with the intention of hurting the kids. The 39-year-old father, Ross Lambert, took to Facebook to warn others about such incidences and also slam the ‘scum’ who planted the sharp blades on the children play space on Leyland Street in Bathgate, Scotland.

Lambert's post read: "Took my daughter and dog to the little park at wester inch found this embedded in the wooden shelter of the slide. What little scumbag does this? imagine it was a 4yr old that "found" it rather than me!

UPDATE, my injury turned out a lot worse than it looked, luckily only ended up with 3 very painful stitches! But a couple of return trips to the hospital in the near future!"

Take a look at the pictures of the cuts that Ross survived:
