Times Square was temporarily evacuated Monday morning after a man left a suspicious package outside the NYPD command center on 43rd Street and 7th Avenue. Authorities say the man approached the station shortly after 10:30 a.m., placed an unidentified device outside, and fled the scene.
The NYPD quickly evacuated the building and surrounding blocks as a precaution. The Bomb Squad responded and later determined the item was non-threatening. No injuries were reported.
