NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio on Port Authority blast: 'This was an attempted terrorist attack'

A low tech device exploded during rush hour Monday morning at New York's Port Authority, the world's busiest bus terminal, injuring four people, including the man carrying the device.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, was taken into custody, city officials said. NYPD confirmed the suspect detonated what is believed to be a crude bomb in Port Authority. He and three others suffered injuries that are not life threatening, the NYPD said.

"This was an attempted terrorist attack," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference at the scene.
