( Spencer Platt / Getty Images )NEW YORK - An explosion rocked a crowded Manhattan neighbourhood and injured 29 people, and a suspicious device discovered blocks away was safely removed early Sunday. "Tonight, New York City experienced a very bad incident," de Blasio said at a news conference near the scene in Chelsea. Witnesses said the explosion at about 8:30 p.m. blew out the windows of businesses and scattered debris in the area. Donald Trump moved ahead of New York City officials when he declared a "bomb went off" before officials had released details. The Republican presidential nominee made the comments around 9:10 p.m., shortly after the explosion and as emergency officials responded to the blast.
