At least five people were killed and 10 others wounded, Hashim said.
The bomb was planted in a car and an unidentified man parked it at the site and left.
Hashim said there had been no immediate claim of responsibility and police could not speculate who could be behind the bombing.
Hospital official Rasheed Jamali said there was one woman among the five dead brought to hospital.
Witnesses said several cars parked nearby also caught fire and a house was damaged.
Live television footage showed swirls of thick, black smoke as people ran into the street, some pushing their cars to safety, while ambulances carried away the wounded.
