Police said a 911 call was received around 4:20 p.m. after the Secret Service discovered the package inside the building at 725 Fifth Avenue, but no evacuations, injuries or arrests were reported as the investigation continued, the NYPD told Newsweek via phone interview.

A large police and emergency response presence could be seen outside of the building in videos posted to social media.

New York City’s emergency notification system posted on X, “Police Activity: Expect traffic delays, road closures, mass transit disruptions & emergency personnel near 5th Avenue & West 56th Street, Manhattan. Avoid the area.”

NBC New York reported just before 6 p.m. that the package has been cleared as a threat.

Here’s some footage from the scene:

This incident comes as pro-Iranian demonstrators have been protesting President Trump’s strikes on Iran in New York — including outside Trump Tower.
