NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police evacuated New York's Times Square Saturday night for what officers at the scene called an "emergency investigation" and dozens of officers blocked access to the busy central Manhattan square.
The square was evacuated shortly after 8 p.m., according to Reuters reporters on the scene. Emergency vehicles were seen clustered at the south end of the square as well as in some streets leading into the area.
Any bomb has been flooded by NYFD and Bomb Squad, so it's safe.

NYTimes says it was a failed bombing attempt?
Police officials said they received a report about 6:30 p.m. of smoke coming from a Nissan Pathfinder parked on 45th Street just west of Seventh Avenue. The authorities found a smoking package in the vehicle and now believe it was a bomb. A bomb squad was sent to the scene.
The package did not explode, and officials said they did not know whether it was related to terrorism.
