The police claim that the bomb was in a package with a bucket. At least 22 people suffered from the explosion, but all survived.
Now the incident is being investigated as a terrorist attack. This is the fifth terrorist attack in the UK since the beginning of the year, reports ABC.
The police Department of new York said that he is closely monitoring the situation, but «direct threats to new York no». However, add in police, all law enforcement agencies and government «on the alert».
Residents of the Big Apple ask you to remain calm, but stay vigilant.
«On behalf of all new Yorkers, I strongly condemn the terrorist attack in London,» said Andrew Cuomo. «This attempt to instill fear of violence is a terrible and cowardly. And she reminds us of the risks that we face in today’s world.»
