A college kid had his foot blown off in Central Park on Sunday after stepping on what appeared to be a firecracker, police sources said.
Connor Golden, 18, was climbing on rocks near east 60th Street and Fifth Avenue with his two buddies Thomas Hinds, 20, and Matthew Stabile, 18 when he stepped on the explosive object at around 11 a.m., the sources said.
His foot was mutilated, said Hinds, who was spoke to The Post from the 19th Precinct on Sunday afternoon.
I was walking in front of him and suddenly heard this extremely loud explosion directly behind me. When I turned around, I saw Connor lying there, his foot completely gone. It was insane. He was moaning and saying, Get help

After seven and a half years of oversight by the Chicago Mob, you can only guess what the FBI and Sec Serv look like.
I’m surprised that Trump lets the Sec Serv anywhere near his crew.
A firecracker? A firecracker blew off his foot? A FIRECRACKER?!!!! I don't think so!
7 PM ET news on WMAL NYPD or FBI guy said no evidence of terrorism.
haha.. I heard the clock-boy was back in the country...
My bet, Islam involved, and in a year the Islamist will be saying that it never happened.
My opinion, if this aint an act of war, nothing is. Shouldn’t we be going for 10,000 legs in return? One thing for sure, ignoring this is not going to make anyone stop.
That was no firecracker that did that.
Shock sensitive material. That means someone has planted mines around Central Park.
“Hello...yes..the firecracker was as big as a toilet paper tube...oh boy I really did it this time...” The Jerky Boys.
What ever they were doing, this is a public location in NYC. Start planting bombs there - it won’t be good.
Does Bloomberg know about this?/s
Strange statement, “tiny explosive”, yet it blew the entire foot off. “in a brown bag”, implying in a paper bag?
I don't believe this was a homemade fireworks project.
Part of CP have large rocks that people climb, it’s not what we think of as “rock climbing’ as in a mountain, pretty much straight up and down... they’re more gradual than that..
I feel the same way I felt when I saw the first plane hit the towers.
The person who made one of these explosive devices could have made many more. Time will tell.
Certainly possible. If not, it’s given a new idea to the bad guys.
Are the Muzzies now importing and seeding anti-personnel mines or are they making them from local materials in their mosque or garage bomb factories? The ugly possibilities are endless here.
Yes, so did I. I’ve been ridiculed here for saying what I told my wife when she told me about seeing the 1st one.
I still resent that treatment. Still don’t like being called a liar here. There is no excuse for that nonsense here.
