New York City police say to avoid Times Square due to investigation

The New York City Police Department on Monday advised people to avoid Times Square in midtown Manhattan "due to an active police investigation." "Avoid the area of West 43rd Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan ... Expect emergency vehicles and delays in the surrounding area," the department said in a post on X. An overhead image posted online shows a two-block section of Seventh Avenue between 42nd and 44th Street closed to traffic.
