Timeline

In a press conference this morning, Police Commissioner Tisch and Mayor Mamdani confirmed that on Sunday, March 8th, NYPD Bomb Squad personnel located a black 2010 Honda that contained materials consistent with the devices deployed on Saturday at a protest outside Gracie Mansion. The vehicle was discovered in the area of East End Avenue and 81st Street. The area was evacuated as Bomb Squad technicians removed the vehicle for further testing and evaluation. The evacuation was later lifted and residents returned to their homes.

A statement from the NYPD has lifted the 'frozen zone' and allowed evacuated residents to return to previously cleared structures after the device was safely removed.

"Officers have frozen the area around the vehicle and are conducting limited evacuations of buildings in the vicinity while the Bomb Squad assesses and removes the device," the NYPD said. Avoid the area.

The NYPD said officers have found a "suspicious device" in a vehicle in connection with the ongoing investigation into the improvised explosive device deployed yesterday. The car is on East End Avenue between 81st Street and 82nd Street.

"The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, referring to the devices recovered during the protests.

Police said that the device thrown during yesterday's protests outside Grace Mansion could have caused "serious injury or death."

The FBI is on scene assisting with the investigation, according to a Samdesk report.

According to NBC New York, the bomb squad is searching a car believed to be linked to the suspects in yesterday’s explosive devices near Gracie Mansion.

According to an unconfirmed report on Samdesk, a bomb squad has been deployed and a robot is inspecting a parked car.

ADVISORY: Due to ongoing police activity, please avoid the area of East End Avenue between 81st Street and 82nd Street in Manhattan.
