Doctors amputated the lower leg of a 19-year-old man visiting New York City after he stepped on something that exploded in Central Park, relatives said Monday. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned people on Twitter to stay away from handling fireworks. The explosion unfolded not far from a private memorial service for Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel, though police said it was unrelated. The blast injured Connor Golden, who was visiting the city from Fairfax County, Virginia. "We don't know what happened, there was a small explosion and then dust," Connor's friends, Matthew Stabile and Thomas Hinds, told WUSA after they saw the blast.
