SAN FRANCISCO — A juggler performing near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf caused a bit of a stir when onlookers became worried that he might be using a live grenade as part of his performance.
Police closed off a block near the popular tourist spot around 5 p.m. Saturday so investigators could take a closer look at the device.
It turned out to be a replica. The area was reopened around 6:15 p.m.
The juggler was detained, but a police spokesman did not know if he had been arrested.
Police did not identify the man. It was not known if he was a regular performer in the area or had used the replica grenade in previous juggling acts.
