Grenade left in Uber as anti-Israel protesters march through NYC ‐ as NYPD struggled to reach device: source
[NYPost] Oops! Lotsa pics of another "mostly peaceful" event
An explosive device was discovered in the back seat of an Uber in Midtown Manhattan Saturday — which the NYPD bomb squad struggled to reach due to anti-Israel protesters blocking traffic, The Post has learned.

After dropping off a passenger at 42nd Street and 7th Avenue in Times Square, an Uber driver turned around and saw a grenade in the back seat of his Nissan Altima, police sources said. The driver reported the explosive to police just after 4 p.m., and the Emergency Services Unit and Bomb Squad responded, cops said.

Cops managed to establish a security perimeter around the car containing the grenade and closed off vehicle and pedestrian traffic on 42nd Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues.

A police source said they believed the grenade was inert.

The Bomb Squad struggled to get to the explosive device due to the thousands of protesters marching up to Times Square as part of the Millions March for Palestine, a police source said.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
