Update :
quote:

The suspect has been identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, who is from Bangladesh and has been in the country for seven years. He reportedly lived at an address in Brooklyn.

He was severely injured in the apparent suicide bombing attempt, and he was taken into custody at the scene and transported to Bellevue Hospital. He appears to have been wearing a low-level explosive device. He was stripped of his clothes to remove it.

Just watched a show about manhole covers blowing out during winter times.
Hope it's nothing worse than that

Suspect is in custody.

Only 3 injuries so far. Hopefully the perp is a moron and failed to achieve any of his goals besides inconvenience.

Suspect is already in custody? Damn, that was fast. Either she/he wanted to be caught or they don't eph around in NYC. That's Israeli style to catch/kill the perpetrator(s) this quickly. Great job!

Just talked to my fianceé who’s staying an ave. away from Port Authority. Said it’s pretty chaotic outside their hotel right now. Will try and get some on scene updates soon.
