Minneapolis police say they have identified two juveniles suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a bicyclist on the Midtown Greenway.
Police spokesman Sgt. Stephen McCarty says the suspects are not teenagers and may be too young to be charged. He said the case has since been sent to the Hennepin County Attorney's office.
The bicyclist was not injured. On April 3, he was riding on the part of the Greenway that runs on an old railroad bed below the street in the midtown area. He said someone threw the makeshift firebomb at him from the 15th Avenue overpass. It narrowly missed him, hit the pavement and burst into flames.
