Police are investigating a family's claim their daughter was cut by a deliberately placed razor blade at a Gordon playground over the weekend. Six-year-old Bella was celebrating Father's Day with her family at the Gordon adventure park on Sunday afternoon when her finger was sliced open riding down the slide. "Bella was really shaken up," said mother Donna Chandler-Brown. "She ran towards us, crying ,with her hand covered in blood, and when [my husband] went to check, he found she'd knocked a razor blade off the slide," she said. The blade appeared to have been deliberately wedged in place on the play equipment to cause injury, Ms Chandler-Brown said. "When the police came and the ranger had a look, from what they could see, it was jammed in one of the seams of the metal on the slide," Ms Chandler-Brown said. 'It's so scary to think of someone deliberately trying to hurt a child. "Given where it was, it must have been put there for that purpose." A spokeswoman for ACT Policing confirmed the incident and said investigations were ongoing. While Bella didn't need stitches for the wound, Ms Chandler-Brown said she had to undergo several "frightening" blood tests to rule out infections, such as hepatitis and HIV. "It was rusty, old dirty razor, so the blood tests have been the worst part of it, luckily she's had her tetanus shot and she's fully immunised," she said. Bella's early blood work is due back on Wednesday, but the family now face an anxious three month wait for the results of her final HIV tests. Ms Chandler-Brown said a ranger searched the park for other dangerous items in the area immediately after the injury. Transport Canberra and City Services have been contacted for comment. For the Brown family, an afternoon at the Gordon park is a long-standing Father's Day tradition. "My father-in-law passed away a few years ago and that's the spot we all go to and remember him," Ms Chandler-Brown said. "Bella and her cousin are really used to playing there." But the incident wouldn't be stopping them from returning next year. "Bella's as resilient as they come," Ms Chandler-Brown said. "She's recovering fine." "We'll just be more vigilant [next year], we'll do a thorough walk around, and you know check all the things you thought you wouldn't need to do." Ms Chandler-Brown has since taken to social media to warn other families to be vigilant at playgrounds. "It's sad that families have to be now," she said. "I must have been naive thinking [the playground] would be fine. I've got adult children as well and it didn't use to be like that."
