Police are looking for a man seen on surveillance video taking objects out of a shopping cart and placing them in busy areas of New York City. The objects, identified as rice cookers, caused an evacuation of a subway station and closed off an intersection.
This photo released by NYPD shows a person of interest wanted for questioning in regard to the suspicious items placed inside the Fulton Street subway station in Lower Manhattan on Friday, Aug. 16, 2019 in New York. Three abandoned devices that looked like pressure cookers prompted an evacuation of the major downtown subway station and closed off an intersection in the Chelsea neighborhood before police determined the objects were not explosives.
But police stressed that so far, it wasn’t clear whether he was trying to frighten people or merely throwing the objects away. Many rice cookers look like pressure cookers, but the latter use pressure to cook food quickly — a function that has been used to turn them into bombs. “This is a frightening world we live in, and all of these situations have to be taken seriously because God forbid one day ... it’s a real device,” said Cuomo, a Democrat. “We learned the hard way after 9/11, and we are prepared.”
Multiple subway lines were partially suspended during the police investigation at Fulton Street, and delays continued throughout the morning.
