A Bronx school was evacuated Friday morning when an anonymous caller phoned in a bomb threat, cops said.
The caller rang PS/MS 20, located on Webster Avenue near East Mosholu Parkway North in Norwood around 8:50 a.m., police said.
The threat prompted the school to evacuate — but it was deemed not credible and the students were allowed back inside just under two hours later, police said.
