Mum left 'dripping with blood' after thugs 'hid razor blade on supermarket trolley'

A mum says she was left "dripping with blood" after claiming thugs hit a razor blade under a shopping trolley handle.

Silver Taylor shared pictures of her horror wounds after saying she'd sliced open her hand while shopping at a Walmart in Cedar Park, Texas.

The mum said she was in a queue when two other customers told her that her hand was bleeding.

Pictures apparently taken by paramedics called to the scene appear to show a razor blade embedded in the handle of a shopping trolley.

After realising what had happened, Silver then fainted and hit her head, her lawyer, Brad Wurster, claims.

She was taken to a nearby hospital, where her wounds were treated.

"I don't know if anyone really understands the gravity of how thankful I am that I got hurt, and not a child, my sons,” Silver told CBS Austin .

“My children are scared to touch me because they're afraid they'll hurt mummy."

Mr Wurster claimed Walmart should be held accountable for the incident, however the retail giant says it is unable to substantiate the claims.

It told CBS in a statement: "The safety of our customers and associates is always a top priority.

"We completed a thorough investigation and have been unable to substantiate Ms. Taylor’s claims."
