New York City Fire Department Commissioner Daniel Nigro said the three other people injured were suffering from ringing in the ears and headaches, due to their proximity to the blast in an enclosed corridor. He said all three had taken themselves to nearby hospitals.
Police initially said the suspect was the only person injured when the device detonated. The New York City Fire Department later provided an update to confirm the additional injuries.
Around 7:20 a.m. ET, police said they responded to reports of a blast at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
After the explosion, subway trains were bypassing the Port Authority and adjacent Times Square stations, police said. The Port Authority bus terminal was temporarily closed and later reopened, although Greyhound and airport service remained suspended.
President Trump "has been briefed on the explosion in New York City," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said via a tweet.
