Police have cordoned off an area near the UN headquarters in New York over a suspicious package.
The bomb squad is on its way to the scene, and the NYPD has cleared a two-block radius around the mission. Traffic in the region has been restricted too, a Sputnik correspondent said.
A video from the site shows the NYPD blocking the area.
According to preliminary information, shared by the police, the object turned out to be ... a box of flowers. A police officer outside the UN building told the Sputnik correspondent that "it seems like there's nothing inside the suspicious box."
