Two teenagers were left stunned when they pulled a live grenade from a river on their first attempt at magnet fishing – before the device had to be detonated by the bomb squad. Alfie Rock and Zak Carroll were at Victoria Bridge in their local park in Hereford on Sunday and tried out magnet fishing in the River Wye. The pair, both 18, were astonished when they reeled in their line with a large grenade hanging from the bottom of the magnet. They then called the bomb squad fearing what might happen next. Video shows Alfie launching his magnet into the murky waters of the river in a first throw, closely followed by Zak who steps up and hurls his magnet into the water.The clip then cuts to the pair staring in disbelief at a rusty grenade clinging precariously to one of the magnets.
