Five teenagers from northern Iowa are facing charges after setting off a homemade bomb. The Hampton Police Department says they received a report back on May 4th about a plastic bottle exploding near some children on a city street after it was allegedly tossed from a car.

One child was treated for injuries as a result of the explosion. Police say two 16-year-olds and three 17-year-olds, whose names were not released, will be charged with reckless use of fire or explosives. The teen who threw the bomb will be charged with aggravated assault.
