A 3-year-old British boy on an Easter egg hunt Saturday morning, discovered a live hand grenade, the Daily Mail reported.

The boy was actually standing on the device when an adult, Mr Moffatt, spotted him.

He said: "We were beginning to count the eggs at the end of the hunt and I saw a boy of three standing on an object."

The object was brown, about 4 inches high and looked like an Easter egg, but in fact was a hand grenade.

The grenade, believed to be a Second World War relic, was found in a field next to a busy road. The bomb disposal team carried out a controlled explosion.

男孩找彩蛋踩中手榴弹

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,周六早晨,一名来自英国的3岁小男孩正在寻找复活节彩蛋,不料却发现了一枚尚可引爆的手榴弹。

       当时男孩踩在了手榴弹上,正巧被一名男子莫法特看见。

       他表示:“当时寻找复活节彩蛋的活动已经接近尾声,我们正在数找到了多少枚彩蛋,正巧看到了一个3岁小男孩踩在了一个东西上。”

       这个棕色的东西大约4英寸长,看起来很像一个复活节彩蛋,但事实上却是一枚手榴弹。

       这枚手榴弹应该是二战时留下的,被埋在闹市街区旁的一块地里。后来,拆弹组安全引爆了这枚手榴弹。
