He is believed to be the man seen by NYPD and FBI on surveillance on both 23rd St and 27th St in Manhattan, the two mid-town cross streets at the center of Saturday night’s events. A bomb inside a dumpster detonated between 6th and 7th Avenues on 23rd Street, and later an undetonated pressure cooker was found just four blocks to the north; surveillance indicated the presence of a man near both locations, and it is now believed to be Rahami, who the FBI identifies as 5’6″ and approximately 200 pounds.
Rahami is the first person identified in connection with the incident Saturday night, and is now a person of interest in connection with a blast in Seaside Park, New Jersey Saturday morning as well as the events that unfolded late into the night Sunday in Elizabeth, NJ. Elizabeth is the town where Rahami’s last known home address is located, and FBI with local law enforcements raided the address in the early morning hours Monday.
