A man who is suspected of setting off an explosion in the New York City subway was taken into custody after the blast Monday morning, authorities said.
Police said the suspect was injured in the blast. A police spokesman said the man was not critically injured but did not go into further detail, describing the situation as “very fluid.”
The New York Fire Department said that four injuries were reported but that all of them were non-life-threatening.
The blast was reported in Midtown Manhattan in the area of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, at 42nd St. and 8th Ave.
On MSNBC, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said the suspect was a man in his mid-20s, possibly from Bangladesh, who “was supposedly setting the device off in the name of ISIS,” according to preliminary information from his police sources. ISIS is another name for the Islamic State, the extremist group that has urged its followers to wage attacks around the world.
