Explosion rocks New York commuter hub, one suspect in custody
An explosion rocked New York's Port Authority, one of the city's busiest commuter hubs, on Monday (December 11) morning and police said one suspect was injured and in custody but that no-one else was hurt in the rush-hour incident.
Police confirmed one person was in custody but were not yet identifying the device used.
The bus terminal was temporarily closed, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a Twitter statement.
The incident occurred less than two months after an Uzbek immigrant killed eight people by speeding a rental truck down a New York City bike path, in an attack for which Islamic State claimed responsibility.
In September 2016, a man injured more than two dozen people when he set off a homemade bomb in New York's Chelsea district.
