Harlem bore witness to a chaotic pipe bomb scare following a machete attack on Wednesday afternoon that sparked a massive police response.
After making the arrest, cops called in backup from the bomb squad to deal with what law enforcement sources described as a pipe bomb with aerosol cans taped to it. A heavily armored member of the Bomb Squad could be seen using a pole to hook the device and place it into a black container before loading it into the back of a truck. The squad brought the devices to the NYPD base at Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx, where it will be analyzed and dismantled.
