Schoolboys played football with WWll grenade

Two schoolboys escaped injury after they were spotted playing football with a WWII grenade.

The two 14-year-olds, named only as Yuri and Igor, found the grenade in woods near Murmansk, in Russia.

They knew what it was but thought it was too old to explode so started kicking it around.

Pavel Kopytov, 22, who was walking through the woods, saw what they were doing and rushed over to stop them, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reported.

He said: "My hair stood on end. I yelled at them, but they didn't stop and I had to just grab it off them.

"I knew how their game of football would end - explosively. They were lucky."

The grenade was turned over to local police and destroyed
