Blow Darts

Oh great:

Dan Wilson, 36, called 9-1-1 to report that he was struck by a dart while riding his bike around 11 a.m. "All of the sudden I feel, it feels like a really big bee sting," described the Wilmington man. [...]

He looked down to find a four-inch blow dart sticking out of his thigh. The dart was so deep, he couldn't get it out with one tug. "I keep pulling it and pulling it and it was a good two inches, two and a half inches lodged in there," Wilson said. [...]

After hearing about the Route 7 attack three other people contacted State Police about similar attacks.

A 27-year-old woman was hit in her lower back by a blow dart while biking along Route 71 near the Red Lion Christian Academy in Bear, Del. on Monday night around 7:15, police said. She was treated by her primary care physician.

And I thought car passengers flicking their cigarettes out the window within inches of my face was bad enough.
