An Explosion in Times Square caused a portion of Times Square in New York City to be cordoned off. The blast was near a military recruiting station causing minor damage to the station. An ammunition can was the apparent source of explosion. One witness reported a suspicious person on a bicycle, and the released surveillance video corroborates this story. The bicycle was later found discarded.
