NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- The New York City Police Department released a photograph of Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old New Jersey resident, as the suspect in the Manhattan explosion incident.
Rahami was described as a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan on Jan. 23, 1988.
"I want to be very clear that this individual could be armed and dangerous," said Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City.
Rahami's last known address was in Elizabeth in the state of New Jersey.
Just hours ago, a loud blast was heard at the Elizabeth train station, when a bomb squad was investigating a suspicious backpack found near the rail tracks. Some reports said it contained as many as five explosive devices.
Twenty-nine people were injured in the explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday evening.
