OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a man was seriously injured when he lit a firecracker and it exploded in his hands.

The man was hurt Monday morning after lighting the firecracker at a moving company and storage warehouse in southwest Omaha.

Matt Manhart, of the Omaha police bomb response team, says the man lit the commercial firework in his hand, then wasn’t able to toss it before the firework exploded.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, was taken to Nebraska Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries to both hands.

Manhart wouldn’t describe the injuries.
