At 8:30PM on Saturday night, New York City was rattled by an explosion that is being called “an intentional act” on 23rd and 6th Avenue in Chelsea. 27 were injured from the blast and treated in nearby city hospitals.
In the wee hours of Sunday morning, another explosive device was reportedly found a few blocks north on 27th street.
