Molotov c-cktail Explodes at U.S-Mexico Border in San Ysidro

Federal agents working along the U.S.-Mexico border south of San Diego dodged a fireball when a man lodged a Molotov c-cktail at them Wednesday.

The man threw the homemade device as he was crossing into the U.S. on foot around 1 p.m.

The device landed about a yard away from an inspection booth in one of the vehicle lanes and exploded into flames.

Photos distributed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection show the fireball and a large plume of black smoke rising from the scene.

There were no injuries.

Special agents with the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service arrested the man identified only as a 39-year-old U.S. citizen.

The device detonated in an area described as between the international boundary and the CBP inspection booths, officials said.

Agents used fire extinguishers to put out the fire before any damage was done.
