The terminal was evacuated after authorities received an anonymous call at about 5:40 p.m., Port Authority spokesman John Kelly said. The caller warned of a bomb at the terminal.

Just before that, a Port Authority officer noticed an unattended bag in the terminal. Out of an abundance of caution, the terminal was evacuated, Kelly said



Glad it was nothing and hope they catch the person that made the phone call.
