The Boston Police bomb squad responded early Sunday to an explosion at a triple-decker in East Boston that sent a resident to the hospital with second-degree burns to his legs, officials said.

The man, a second-floor resident whom police have not named, was in critical but stable condition, police spokeswoman Rachel McGuire said in a phone interview Sunday morning.

The man “may also be person of interest in the incident,” she said.

Police Commissioner William B. Evans arrived at about 2:30 a.m. to 88 Webster St., where more than a dozen police officers were investigating.
Police say they found a man suffering from serious burns on the 2nd floor. 
BPD'S Bomb Unit and the FBI are involved in the investigation.
