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

A couple of people have already been shot and a few killed in Chicago this weekend. No news on that.
Look at the pictures. His leg is gone below the ankle. IED...probably moozlum. Just sayin’...

until 6pm.
Even "illegal" firecrackers.
This sounds like a land mine.
Only ladyfingers or inch-and-a-halfs.

126 dead including 25 children.
It’s Ramadan. Shit blows up.
