There are reports of a terror attack in New York City, after an explosion was felt Monday morning in a Subway station near Times Square.
Commuters said they felt a blast in the Subway tunnels underneath the Port Authority Bus Terminal around 7:30am. The bus terminal is a major transit hub for people commuting to and from New Jersey by bus, and is located just a block from Times Square.
Police have taken one man into custody, who was carrying a pipe bomb with a battery back, a source told the New York Post. He was injured when the bomb malfunctioned, but is alive and in stable condition, according to the FDNY.
The FDNY says a total of four people were injured and that the injuries were non-life-threatening. The injured count includes the suspect.
While the suspect has not been identified by name, the Post reports that he is 27 and lives in Brooklyn.
Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC's Morning Joe that the man is possibly from Bangladesh originally. Bratton added that the suspect 'supposedly was setting the device off in the name of ISIS' and that it was 'definitely a terrorist attack, definitely intended'.

The blast happened less than a week after President Trump sparked violence in the Middle East by officially recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital city.
Palestinians leaders vowed 'three days of rage' to protest the controversial decision. Demonstrations took place in other Muslim countries around the world - including one in Bangladesh where thousands took part.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted Monday morning that the president had been briefed on the situation.

“This is New York, the reality is that we are a target by many who would like to make a statement against democracy, against freedom," Cuomo said.

Was he talking about liberals or terrorist? Not much of a difference.

Open, porous borders are a great idea.

Also, we should not be vetting Muslim immigrants cause it is Xenophobic.

Also, Trump is a racist.
