Bomb squads removed two pipe bomb type explosives from a St. Cloud duplex Sunday after a similar device blew up in a man’s hand in the same residence.

Police said a large amount of bomb-making material was removed from the two-story duplex.

The victim was taken to St. Cloud Hospital with substantial injuries to his left hand and arm. His name has not yet been released and he has not yet been able to provide a statement to St. Cloud Police.

Police were called to the residence early Sunday afternoon. Houses on each side were evacuated and there were no other injuries.

The victim is not the owner of the property.

Two additional devices were taken away by the Bloomington Bomb Squad to be safely detonated.

Neighbors reported hearing the blast as far as a block away.
