RJ Demello, who heard the explosion while walking in the area, said that 鈥渆veryone jumped and ducked for cover鈥�.

鈥淲e were not sure which direction it came from, it echoed off the buildings,鈥� he added.

Officials have told media that a device was found at a second location in the same neighbourhood.
