The New York Police Department (NYPD) stopped a threat to the Jewish community on Saturday in a joint effort with the FBI, the police department said.
“The FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force, NYPD Counterterrorism and Intelligence Bureau investigators, working with their law enforcement partners, uncovered a developing threat to the Jewish community on Friday,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a statement. “By early Saturday, the NYPD’s exhaustive intelligence-gathering led to the arrest by sharp-eyed MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority] police officers of two individuals entering Penn Station.”
