ния

Seven people were injured when an object thrown from a flat in Queens Road West near Hollywood Road exploded at half past eight last night Wednesday. The explosion occurred when a party of police was cordoning off an area outside number seventy seven Queens Road West where Ballistic Officers were dealing with a suspicious object believed to be a bomb. Following the explosion a crowd began to gather near the scene. The crowd refused to disperse despite repeated warnings. The police then fired five rounds of tear gas to disperse them. One round from the Greener gun was also fired at a person who was about to throw an object into the street from the rooftop of one of the buildings.
