A suspected terrorist detonated a potentially deadly “improvised low-tech explosive device” inside a New York City subway passageway during Monday morning rush hour, injuring himself and three other people and causing chaos at one of the city’s key traffic hubs.
The device went off in the 42nd Street passageway between 7th and 8th avenues, and the suspect, later identified as Akayed Ullah, 27, was taken into custody, NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said.
The incident happened at about 7:20 a.m. in the busy underground tunnel near both the Times Square subway station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, according to the Fire Department of New York.
Ullah was wearing a pipe bomb-based device that was affixed to his body with Velcro and zip ties, NYPD deputy commissioner John Miller said. Officials said Ullah was taken to Bellevue Hospital on Manhattan’s East Side with burns and other wounds.
Earlier, law enforcement officials told NBC News that the suspect was the only person hurt and that he had sustained a minor injury.
Ullah is a former taxi driver who was licensed from March 2012 to March 2015, according to the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission. No other information about his background was immediately available.

Yeah, lets do like CNN & talk about the president's soda intake while the attack is taking place.
He didn’t yell “Allahu Akbar”, so they would know “this has nothing to do with Islam”.
Lone wolf Amish?
Too tired for sarcasm on this Monday
After all, suicide vests and rape are an understandable cultural effect that must be taken into account.
This was just “Public Place Random Violence”. It wasn’t terrorism.
(Sarcasm)
Of course, if the terrorist swine had used a gun, they would be talking RIGHT NOW about guns and gun control.
Lone wolf
Nothing to do with islam
Muslims fear backlash
Yada, yada, yada...
AND I do not believe he was a lone terrorist but the dummy part of a team. Buyer beware.
What ever happened to the last NY Jihadist? The one who wanted an ISIS flag in his hospital room. The one Trump didn’t send to Gitmo because everyone said NY justice would be swifter and stronger?
Did he die?
Well, CNN didn’t want to report it for the longest, either. Couldn’t be because he was one of Moo’s chained immigrants, huh?
Fake news by omission. Hiding the truth IS lying!
