A 16-year-old needed reconstructive surgery after his thumb was left hanging by a tiny piece of skin. The boy's mum claims her son's attacker tried to kill him during a fight outside Hamilton's Fraser High School on Friday afternoon. "He tried to get him in the stomach, my son has cuts on his shorts from the knife," she said. Her son needed four hours of reconstructive surgery. A photo of the thumb shows it displaced and hanging on by a piece of skin.
