A man is being held after an attempted terror attack at New York City's main bus terminal.
The suspect, named as Akayed Ullah, 27, was wounded when a "low‑tech explosive device" strapped to his body blew up in an underpass.
They say four other people suffered minor injuries.
A photo circulating on social media shows a man, said to be the suspect, lying on the ground with his clothes ripped.
He was believed to have acted alone.
