New York City Police say a man is being held after an explosion at a bus station in Manhattan.
The incident reportedly happened on Monday (11 December) morning at the Port Authority Bus Terminal near Times Square.
Police say no-one other than the suspect has been hurt, who has now been detained.
“The NYPD is responding to reports of an explosion of unknown origin at 42nd Street and 8th Ave, #Manhattan,” tweeted the department.
“The A, C and E line are being evacuated at this time. Info is preliminary, more when available.”
ABC News quotes police sources as saying that a possible pipe bomb was detonated in a passageway below ground at the terminal.
Port Authority is the largest bus terminal in the US, serving more than 65 million people a year.
