During an investigation, it was determined that on January 23, 2026, at approximately 11:20 a.m. a 4-year-old child cut the top of their right hand on a piece of metal that was protruding from a bolt located on an outside brick wall. As children were lining up along the wall to go inside from the playground, the 4-year-old child reached their hand back to hold the hand of a classmate. The back of the child’s hand came in contact with a piece of metal that was protruding from the wall, resulting in a cut on the child’s hand. The child received professional medical attention for treatment of the cut.
