from Bangladesh, who's been in this country about 7 years. He also said he was doing this on behalf of ISIS.

1. Bratton said the explosion in New York was in a tunnel by the Port Authority and bus station.

Apparently the only person injured is the suspect.

2. He succeeded in doing $10s of millions of damage

Subways shut down, streets closed, local media telling everyone not to come to Manhattan because subway and surface public transport is snarled. Surface streets are also gridlocked, so cabs and uber aren't an option either.

So the police overreaction will cause NYC a huge economic cost.

4. Eastside trains running fine

Metro north into Grand Central working fine too
I am on a Lexington Avenue express going downtown as I write this.

7. I think LIRR to Penn station is running, as is PATH to midtown and downtown. NJTransit not running.

NJ transit diverted to Newark or Secaucus, and then you take PATH to the city.

Depending on how soon they sort this out and reopen mass transit and the streets, this is going to make people very wary about going into Manhattan for the Holidays.

5. Absolutely! This is very close to Times Square and

one of the busiest spots in the entire city.

3. Former NY Police commissioner Bratton said all this information is preliminary.

It's reported that the injuries to the suspect aren't severe enough to prevent the suspect from speaking.

It's not known yet if the explosive went off prematurely or if this was the intended location for his bomb.

6. Was just outside

I'm in the 30s on Park Avenue (East side) and all I heard was sirens.
