Police are investigating an “intentional” explosion at a Harvard University medical building early Saturday morning.
A fire alarm at the Goldenson Building, part of Harvard’s medical campus in Boston, went off at 2:48 a.m. Saturday. A Harvard University Police Department officer who responded to the call saw two “unidentified individuals fleeing from the building,” Harvard police said in a statement.
The explosion occurred on the fourth floor the building.
The explosion “appeared to be intentional,” according to an initial assessment by the Boston Fire Department’s arson unit.
The Boston Police Department also responded and conducted a sweep of the building for any additional devices, but none were found.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
The explosion is under investigation by the Harvard University Police Department along with local, state and federal law enforcement partners.
The FBI is at the scene aiding in the investigation.
