A 13-year-old boy attacked near the Slingshot ride on the Daytona Beach boardwalk described the moment a man randomly ran up to him and slashed his neck.

Police say a 13-year-old boy was randomly attacked and had his throat slashed near the Slingshot ride on the Daytona Beach boardwalk over the weekend.

A Michigan teenager who is credited with using an uncommon weapon to save his sister from an abduction says he was “freaking out” when he reached for his slingshot.

Officials said the attraction’s towers stand at 240 feet tall and will launch two riders up to 400 feet in the air, reaching speeds of up to 100 mph.
