Pupils had a lucky escape when an explosive device detonated in a teacher's car near a Liverpool school.

The blast happened outside Runnymede St Edward's in Sandfield Park, West Derby - an independent Roman Catholic school.

Witnesses said the device was a nail bomb, and police described it as an improvised firework-type device.

Supt Ian Pilling described the incident as a "despicable". He said children were leaving at the time and it was lucky no-one was killed or injured.
