Suspicious Truck in Times Square: All-Clear Given
The threat came on the same day a portion of Port Authority was evacuated.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Police have given the all clear in Times Square after an investigation into a suspicious truck that was left running and unattended, J. Peter Donald, NYPD Director of Communications wrote on Twitter.
Earlier in the day, the south wing of Port Authority Bus Terminal was evacuated due to a suspicious package. Police determined the package did not pose a threat. On Monday, NYPD evacuated the area surrounding the Marriott Marquis while a bomb squad investigated a suspicious package that was later determined to be garbage.
Several witnesses reported being evacuated. Police said people are since being allowed back into Times Square.

Did Times Square just get cleared out for bomb threat? They barricaded Broadway and kicked us out of Hamilton line.
Due to NYPD activity, traffic delays & road closures around W 46th St & 7th Ave, MN. Consider alternate routes.
