Authorities are looking for two men following a grenade attack on the Mexican Attorney General's (PGR) Office in Matamoros.

The attack happened at he PGR building at the corner of Calle Sexta and Calle Iturbide around 3:30 p.m. Monday.

Nobody was injured in the attack but three cars outside the building were damaged.

The building is located just a few blocks from Brownsville's B&M International Bridge.

Officials told Action 4 News that two young men were masked when they drove by in a white, four-door car.

The men threw two grenades at the building but only one of them detonated damaging three cars outside.

The suspects fled the scene while authorities blocked off Calle Sexta and Calle Iturbide.

The Mexican Army and other officials are the scene.
