“I’m grateful for the diligent response of the NYPD, FDNY, and all of our first responders to today’s pipe bomb explosion at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, an incident that we are blessed did not result in more serious damage. New York City remains the safest big city in America because of their bravery and hard work each and every day. New Yorkers know all too well that terror-minded individuals have our city in their sights, but we know that no matter how they may try to shake us, they will never, ever break us. As we learn more about the suspect of this attack, including his connections to Brooklyn, I urge everyone to respect the ongoing investigation and not fall victim to the kind of divisive behavior that terror seeks to spread.”
