'Suspicious Package' At Atlantic Terminal Just A Bag of Clothing

A bomb squad investigated a parcel left on the 4 train platform

A bomb squad stormed Atlantic Terminal on late Monday afternoon, after police uncovered what they determined to be a "suspicious package" on the 4 train express line platform.

Luckily, it turned out to be a false alarm – the suspicious parcel was not a bomb, but instead a Trader Joe's shopping bag filled with clothes, police said. 

Subway service at the busy Atlantic Avenue/ Pacific Street transit hub resumed with residual delays, according to the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
