NEW YORK—New York police released a photo of a man wanted for questioning Monday in the bombing that rocked a Manhattan neighborhood, and the governor and mayor said the blast looks more like it could be an act of terrorism with a foreign connection.

Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan with an address in Elizabeth, New Jersey, should be considered armed and dangerous, Mayor Bill de Blasio said in one of a series of TV appearances just minutes after the photo was released.
