A man in Cyprus unwittingly brought a live bomb into a police station Wednesday.
Police say the man found the bomb in his driveway and brought it to the station for officers to examine it.
The 33-year-old discovered it while he was pulling his car onto the street, reported Reuters, in the capital Nicosia.

It was mere moments before police realized the man was carrying a bomb.
An evacuation of the building was underway and the bomb squad called in, said Digital Spy.
"He obviously didn't know what it was," a police source told Reuters.
The makeshift bomb was quickly defused.
Early reports did not specify why someone had planted a bomb in the man's driveway.
