Children's play dates rarely lead to cleaver attacks, but there’s got to be a first time for everything.

Police said that the woman’s toddler had a friend over on Monday, but the date ended when the young visitor began to cry.

The friend’s mother and grandmother tried to have a heart-to-heart about it, but the defensive 30-year-old instead grabbed a cleaver and hacked at the other women’s arms and back.

Police arrived soon after. RASMEI KAMPUCHEA
