Times Square Is Evacuated After A Grenade Is Found In The Back Of An Uber During Pro-Hamas Protests

Times Square is evacuated after a grenade was found in the back of Uber as Pro-Hamas protestors make their way through New York City preventing NYPD from reaching the device. The explosive device was located in the backseat of the vehicle in Midtown Manhattan on Saturday. An Uber driver turned to look in the backseat after dropping a passenger off on 42nd Street and 7th Avenue in Times Square and saw the explosive device. The driver notified the police just after 4 pm and NYPD deployed the Emergency Services Unit and the Bomb Squad to the scene. Anti-Israel protestors were marching through the streets and blocking traffic at the time of the emergency.
