Beer gushing at day 5 of bottling: Bottle bombs?

I bottle my beer 5 days ago, and today I just opened for a test purpose, and it gushed. It is an Ale, and instructions say I should keep it in a warm place 2 weeks before putting to cool place.

Should I put my bottles to fridge to prevent bottle bombs?

Never had bottle bombs, but what I would do is the following: refrigerate all bottles, and carefully open and re-cap each one.

You release the extra pressure, when opening the bottle and will stop the yeast from producing more CO2 with cooling the beer.
