Overview

  • The NYPD evacuated its Times Square command center and closed Seventh Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets after a suspicious package was reported around 10:30 a.m.
  • Bomb-squad technicians examined the object and gave an all-clear near noon, allowing vehicles and pedestrians back into the area.
  • Subway service at the Times Square hub largely continued, though a portion of the station was cordoned off during the response.
  • No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
  • Police sources said the item resembled rolled-up paper and torn magazine pages, and evidence teams collected it while detectives work to identify the person who left it and assess potential charges.
