DEDHAM, MA — Staff at WFXT FOX 25 were forced to abandon their newscast after their Dedham building was evacuated for a bomb hoax.

Dedham Police said they received a call around 5 p.m. that indicated bombs were at the building. The Dedham-based station tweeted at 5:20 p.m. that it was temporarily going off the air while the building was evacuated.

"Boston 25 News has been forced to stop our regular newscast due to a threat to our building," the channel's account tweeted. "We hope to be back on the air with our regular news & weather programming as soon as it's safe to do so. Thank you for your patience."
