New York City Police confirmed one male suspect was in custody following Monday’s explosion near the Port Authority Bus Station. The suspect, who has ties to ISIS was the only one with injuries, officials said.
Commuters were urged to avoid the area as authorities continue to investigate the bombing which luckily, wasn’t as horrific as it could have been. New reports said the suspect in Monday’s explosion in New York City was wearing the explosive device when it was detonated. It remained unclear whether it was a backpack or explosive vest of some sort, though it appeared it was not a pipe bomb as previously reported.
Eyewitness Francisco Ramirez told CNN that he heard two explosions as he was exiting a bus about 7:45 a.m. EST.
“From what I saw it sounded like it came from the subway, but I’m just guessing,” he said. “It was two distinct explosions seconds from each other. As I was making my way toward the outside, I kept getting shoved by cops and there were cops at every entrance blocking and there was police and SWAT everywhere.”
“It was scary. It was just a lot of chaos but I didn’t see any injuries,” he added.

At least four people have also suffered non-life threatening and minor injuries such as ringing in ears, headaches, and scrapes according to police officials.
President Donald Trump has been briefed on the situation, according to Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Reports said that New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has also been briefed on the incident.
Some reports are conflicting as this story continues to develop.
Anyone and everyone who favors allowing these parasite savages into our country and giving them protection in sanctuaries are to blame for incidents like this. Especially that rogue liberal federal judge in Hawaii, that POS needs to held accountable for this.
That judge probably lives, like all the other Learjet leftists, in some rich enclave. I think he should be forced to eat his own cooking. Require him to live in the worst part of Somaliapolis (formerl Minneapolis), or better, forcibly move him to Malmo or Goteborg, Sweden, and put him in the darkest sections of those Muslim communities.
I agree 100%!! WTF is wrong with those buffoons wanting these types of vile garbage into this damn country? These mutts serve no good purpose in life. Make America Great Again and SAFE AGAIN and get them the hell out of here! Cut off his little balls and jam them down his throat with a nice cold glass of bleach!
Islamic savages are worse than cockroaches.
Menzo, the muzzies need to go back to their sandboxes.
Yup, the liberal mind is not real bright, they deserve what they get
agreed
Just more from the Religion of Pieces. Human pieces, that is.
It has been reported on the news that terror strikes on public places as we have seen in Paris, London is coming to America.
I would say it has already arrived.
Not just this incident but in previous incidents in New York just this year.
Karma is a bitch NYC. Keep importing from the 3rd world you dopes. And by the way you are on your own from now on NYC.
Never, since kindergarten, have I believed in a bad kid, who ruins it for the rest of the class.
I smell a false-flag.
I smell bacon, breakfast time!
Yep. By now folks should be educated on the wolves behind these events. Designed for maximum psychological trauma atarting with Waco.
Sung to the tune of On the Street Where You Live:
I Have Often Walked
Down the Street Before
But I Never Found No Guns
Beneath My Feet Before
All At Once Am I
California High
Knowing I’m On The Street
Where You Live.
Immigration Laws
They Don’t Bother Me
Cuz Some Sanctuary Town
Will Always Set Me Free
Even Though That I
Made Some Gringo Die
I’ll Be Out On the Street
Where You live
Thoughts of Prison Yards
Make my Face Go Pale
But Some Jury Always Will
Spring Me Right Out of Jail
So Let’s Drink A Beer
Cuz My Gang’s All Here
We’ll Be Home On the Street
Where You Live
very nicely done !
how many here know that tune or where it came from??
Try googling the name. Vic Damone did it, Nat King Cole did it in 1956, and some other famous names. Great song. I’d like to take credit for it (I *am* the creator of “The Wreck of the Hil’ray Fitzgerald” (sung to the tune on the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald), but I can’t take credit for this – a close friend did it. Did a great job, didn’t he!
It’s from “My Fair Lady” back in 1956, a Lerner-Loewe composition.
Vic Damone had the hit single.
It’s time to break out the ol water board again.
Need to stop spending money in their businesses ,gas stations especially I have walked out ,drove away when I realize who is behind the counter. If they can’t make a living here is best for us and very effective let you money do the walking, oh and support pork in everything…….
I would have to leave my Small Town USA to get gas.
They own all three stations here.
I did give a Bible to the clerk in one of the stores.
These people with the suicide vests and bombs seek out locations with as many people as possible. While they prefer crowds of people from other religions, they will use them on Muslims of other sects. To kill one person is a terrible crime, but to kill and maim as many people who are totally unknown to you is monstrously evil. It is no wonder that they are called “terrorist”.
I have a far greater worry driving on the same roads with thousands of others that might be more preoccupied with idiots like this than control of their 3000 lb missile. Junkies concern me far more. Actually a bolt of lightening striking me during a thunder storm is of more concern.
Well toodlum… I’d say if you stay away from junkies with a #3000 missile during a thunderstorm …problem solved. 🙂
And drunks. Unfortunately its difficult to pick out idiots driving as the first indication is a crash. Junkies car or not are dangerous.
Aol.com just announced the identity of the suspect, Akayed Ullah. Don’t know which sandbox he’s from at this time.
The bomber is from Bangladesh. He’s been in the US for seven years and is 27.
Just putting the bang in Bangladeshi.
This gets defeated at the border. Use the Switzerland criteria for admittance. If the Swiss wouldn’t let you in we shouldn’t either. Their standard is you have to bring something to the table.
I want to go back to the days of carefree partying under the stars, drive ins, good food and fun people where most folks just got along,,,, this crap is getting real old
What’s wrong with New Yorkers. They see a guy lying on his back still smoking from a detonated incendiary device. Instead of running away they look down and keep walking. Incredible.
If he is a resident non-citizen,he needs a one way ticket to Gitmo to be tried by a military court martial. Despite what libs say this is in fact Constitutional,and both Geneva and Hague Conventions approve of this. Let’s see if Trump has the gonads to do it. TEST: thanks for the poem,it’s in Eppe’s finest tradition. May he rest in peace
Probably get a trial by jury paid for by tax payers.
Give him 2 bullets to the head and be done with it.
He needs 50 years hard labor on a pig farm and only have pork to eat.
50 years hard labor on a pig farm and he can eat with them.
Some people have things in common. The Shoe Bomber, the Underwear Bomber, and now the Subway Pipe Bomber. No casualties. Why not? Their handlers in the FBI were very careful to see to that.
The good news is he’s already got one foot in Hell.
“The suspect, who has ties to ISIS was the only one with injuries, officials said.”
“At least four people have also suffered non-life threatening and minor injuries such as ringing in ears, headaches, and scrapes according to police officials.”
So, which was it? Were there other people injured or not?
Stupid muslim , can’t even blow himself up
I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist or paranoid, but ‘They’ cannot keep the United States citizens safe. ‘They’ just can’t. ******
