Kenmore Square is back open to traffic on Tuesday after a mannequin found locked to the front door of a Bank of America sparked a bomb scare.

The incident happened at 540 Commonwealth Ave. Crews were not sure if the mannequin was a bomb, or just a type of protest, so bomb squad members, along with a bomb-diffusing robot, suited up to investigate.

According to reports from the scene, officials did an x-ray on the mannequin, and determined it was not an explosive.

No injuries were reported, and customers were let back into the bank after a brief investigation.
