This weekend there were reports of a bomb going off on South 3rd Street in Williamsburg, during the early morning hours of Sunday. Now the Daily News has more details, confirming that the block between Roebling and Havemeyer was the stage for an explosion around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

A 14-year-old student at Midwood High School was arrested for planning a "Drano bomb" attack. The teen was overheard telling someone about his plans, so another student told a teacher and then the school's police officer got involved. Newsday reports that police found "Liquid Plumber, three types of deodorant, balloons and instructions detailing how to make a chemical reaction device" inside his backpack. Police Commissioner Kelly said, "It has some explosive capacity, but not much. It sounds like it's just sort of a childish prank." The teen, whose case was referred to Family Court because he's a juvenile, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
