New York City Police say a man is being held after an explosion at America’s biggest and busiest bus terminal.

The blast happened on Monday in an underpass at the Port Authority terminal near Times Square.

Fire officials say four people were injured, but none is in danger. Police say the suspect was wounded.

US media quote unnamed officials as saying that the man had a pipe bomb strapped to his body when it detonated at the height of the morning rush hour.

A photo circulating on social media shows a man, said to be the suspect, lying on the ground with his clothes ripped and lacerations on his upper body.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump had been briefed on the incident.

The Port Authority Bus Terminal serves more than 65 million people a year.

The Times Square-42nd Street subway station complex is located underneath the transport hub.
