Statement from MTA Communications Director Tim Minton on March 28 Disruption at Grand Central Terminal

“Suspicious objects were discovered at Grand Central Terminal at 2:06pm, resulting in an evacuation of the terminal concourse out of an abundance of caution while the MTAPD, NYPD and FDNY investigated and removed the objects. At no time was Metro-North or Long Island Rail Road service impacted and at 3:08pm the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit cleared the suspicious items as non-hazardous. We appreciate customers’ patience as safety was prioritized and regret any inconvenience in getting to trains.”
