This story is breaking.

There are reports coming from New York which say that a ‘pipe bomb’ has been detonated in an underground passageway in the city. One person is believed to be injured and one person has been brought into custody.

The incident happened just off Times Square between 42nd Street and 8th Ave.

People began to run from Port Authority Bus Terminal in panic after hearing the explosion. The NYPD has apparently shut down the area and Donald Trump has been briefed, according to Sky News.

Eyewitnesses have been sharing photos online of the ongoing situation.
