Man arrested over NY bomb attempt

NEW YORK: Police have arrested a Connecticut man in connection with the attempted car bombing of a busy Times Square street Saturday night, NBC reported.

Shahzad Faisal, of Connecticut, was arrested within on Long Island within the last hour.

Earlier today, federal authorities said they identified a naturalized American citizen who recently returned from Pakistan as a “person of interest” in the attempted car bombing on Broadway Saturday night.

The propane-and-gasoline bomb was found Saturday in an SUV parked near a Broadway theater showing “The Lion King.”

A bomb squad dismantled it.

The area was evacuated for 10 hours. No one was hurt.
