New York (CNN)An explosion ripped through the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City Saturday night injuring dozens and a second device with wiring was found blocks away, authorities say.
Police officers and federal agents were scouring the streets with flashlights, robots and dogs to ensure there were no other devices in the area.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters early indications are that the explosion at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan that injured 29 "was an intentional act." Investigators believe the blast was caused by an explosive device in or near a dumpster, a law enforcement source told CNN.
De Blasio says "there is no evidence at this point of a terror connection" and there is no "credible and specific threat" to New York City. Police have increased security across the five boroughs as a precaution, a law enforcement source told CNN.
