One man was in custody after an explosion injured four people during rush hour Monday morning near New York City’s Port Authority bus terminal injured.
It happened at 7:20 a.m. near 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue, two blocks from Times Square, police said.
Police Commissioner James O’Neil said at a 9:45 a.m. press conference that the suspect has been identified as 27-year-old Akayed Yalih, who was seriously injured in the blast after he detonated a “low tech device” attached to his body with a Velcro vest. Three civilians in the area were treated for minor injuries.
The suspect’s name, Akayed Yalih, means “Allah’s doctrine enforcer” in Arabic, a native Arabic speaker told WND.
