A woman was injured when a letter exploded in her hand while she was opening post at a DNA testing company. | |
The incident happened at Cellmark in Blacklands Way, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, on Thursday morning, according to staff at neighbouring companies. | |
A police spokesman said the woman suffered a minor injury to her hand. | |
A woman working nearby said police had told her it was a nail bomb that had not fully exploded. Bomb disposal experts are now at the scene. | |
The witness said the device had been put in a skip at the back of the company until the disposal team have examined it. | |
The site, which includes about seven companies, has been cordoned off but the buildings have not been evacuated. | |
On its website Cellmark describes itself as a leader in DNA testing. | |
It is also involved in forensic testing for police. |
