A group of teenagers reportedly threw a pipe bomb off the Bryant Street parking garage this morning, causing a loud boom that was heard from blocks away, police said.

An explosion was reported at 11:15 a.m. by multiple callers, prompting a three-alarm response from firefighters to 445 Bryant Street.

One woman said she heard the boom while she was getting her hair done two blocks away.

Firefighters left the scene after 13 minutes, while the police investigation continued.

Menlo Park police were alerted to be on the lookout for the suspects: juveniles and young adults who took off toward Palo Alto Avenue, dispatchers said.

Two suspects were in custody at 12:30 p.m., and two suspects were still on the loose, dispatchers said.

The city is planning on turning the commercial space on the ground floor of the building into a teen center.
