Police swarmed the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday evening after they received reports of a suspicious package in the area.

“We’re investigating a suspicious package,” an NYPD spokesman told Patch just after 7 p.m.

Contrary to some reports, the police spokesman said no portion of the Port Authority had been evacuated in response to the threat. FOX New York reported that “two entrances were closed as a precaution.”
