(FOX NEWS) – An explosion that injured at least 29 people in New York City late Saturday appeared to be “intentional,” Mayor Bill de Blasio announced, as sources told Fox News a second device — a pressure cooker — was found four blocks away.
“Tonight, New York City experienced a very bad incident,” de Blasio said at a news conference near the scene in Chelsea.
“We have no credible and specific threat at this moment.”
De Blasio tried to calm any fears among nervous New Yorkers, saying the explosion had no terrorist connection and wasn’t related to a pipe bomb explosion at a charity run in New Jersey earlier Saturday.
