Bicyclist sought in Times Square bombing

by Jon Surmacz on March 6, 2008

A man on a bicycle is a possible suspect in the early morning bombing of a military recruiting station in Times Square. A witness and an officer at a police substation just steps away from the recruiting office saw a man riding a bicycle, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said at a news conference. CNN reports that the bombing took place around 3:45 a.m. and did not cause any injuries. More from CNN: “The recruiting office, whose neon lights help it blend in with the bright atmosphere of Times Square, sits on a triangular traffic island across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe. Two witnesses, a man and a woman, told a local TV station they heard a ‘huge bang’ from their hotel rooms, but there were no police or fire reports of serious damage or injuries.”
