Boy stabbed in head with scissors at Little Ray's Reptile Zoo summer camp
A 10-year-old boy will need stitches after he was stabbed in the head by another young boy Monday afternoon at Little Ray's Reptile Zoo, according to the wildlife centre's owner.
It happened at about 2:30 p.m. on the first of a week-long wildlife and nature summer camp at the zoo in south Ottawa.
Ottawa police responded and said the boy suffered injuries that were not life threatening.
"Two of them got in a fight," said Paul Ray Goulet on Monday afternoon. "Just a little scuffle and one [of the boys] picked up a pair of craft scissors and struck the other one with them, and one of the kids is ... needing a couple of stitches."
The 11-year-old boy who stabbed the 10-year-old isn't being invited back to the camp, Goulet said.
"The child who was hurt certainly would be invited back ... Obviously for the other kids at our camp, in their best interest, the one who was responsible for the incident obviously won't be allowed to return to the camp."
