NYPD 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.

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



I always speak about the police running towards danger when everyone else runs away — that happened today. Officers ran towards a man carrying an ignited suspicious device. They put the safety of others above their own. Today, as always, I thank them for their noble service.

Good Morning Upper East Side!
