(32 minutes later) | |
New York City's Times Square has been partially evacuated after a mysterious container was thrown at folks enjoying the area's famous 'red steps', popular among tourists. | |
Two blocks, 45th to 47th Street, were evacuated in response to the incident. | |
Sources in law enforcement initially told NBC New York that the object could be a harmless cookie tin, but extra precautions were being taken, considering the bomb threat already being investigated near the US Capitol in Washington, DC. | |
After an investigation of the “suspicious package,” law enforcement gave the item the “all clear,” according to local media. | |
The areas that were evacuated will now be reopened to the public as police have determined the threat to be unfounded. | |
