A grenade has been found hanging from a pole in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, but police do not know if it is live.

The department's bomb and arson unit was called shortly before 7 a.m. to the 1900 block of North Clifton Avenue and closed the immediate area to traffic while they investigate.

Fire Department spokesman Chief Kevin MacGregor said fire officials also are on the scene and a hazardous material alert has been called.
