NEW YORK—A New York man was arrested after allegedly discussing a plot to acquire grenades and detonate them in Times Square, one of midtown Manhattan’s most crowded crossroads, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on June 7.
The man, who lives in the city’s Queens borough but was not otherwise identified, was arrested on Thursday afternoon, the person said. He is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn later on Friday, but it was unclear what charges he would face.
