An investigation is underway following an explosion at Harvard University’s medical facility, with early findings from the Boston Fire Department Arson Unit suggesting the blast was “intentional.”
The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, specifically at 2:48 a.m., within the Goldenson Building on the prestigious Ivy League campus. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported from the explosion, according to the Harvard University Police Department.
Responding to a fire alarm, authorities witnessed two unidentified individuals hastily leaving the scene. A university police officer attempted to intercept these individuals before proceeding to the fourth floor, where the alarm had been activated.
In an effort to gather more information, police have released grainy images of the two suspects. The photos capture them wearing masks and what appear to be sweatshirts, complicating the identification process.
