The blast – which took place in the station at the Port Authority bus terminal, not far from New York’s iconic Times Square – sparked commuter panic and travel disruptions. A man suspected of being behind the blast was in custody, and suffered injuries, police said. Police quickly evacuated the Port Authority station and closed roads in the area, which were filled with police cars and ambulances with flashing lights. Subway trains were bypassing the Port Authority and Times Square stations. It was the first deadly terror attack in New York since 9/11.
