An incendiary device was activated on Monday morning outside a federal building located at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. The FBI has confirmed that an individual is now in custody in connection with the incident.
The FBI's New York Joint Terrorism Task Force is actively investigating the situation. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, there have been reports of two minor injuries resulting from the explosion.
The building at 26 Federal Plaza is home to several government offices, including the New York office of the FBI and an immigration court that processes many cases involving migrants.
Witnesses captured videos and images showing a fire and smoke rising from the sidewalk in front of the building, along with law enforcement officers restraining and escorting a person away from the scene.
