There are reports of a terror attack in New York City, after an explosion was felt Monday morning in a Subway station near Times Square.

Commuters said they felt a blast in the Subway tunnels underneath the Port Authority Bus Terminal around 7:30am. The bus terminal is a major transit hub for people commuting to and from New Jersey by bus, and is located just a block from Times Square. 

Police have taken one man into custody, who was wearing a pipe bomb with wires and a battery back, a source told theNew York Post.  He was injured when the bomb malfunctioned, but is alive and in stable condition, according to the FDNY. 

The FDNY says a total of four people were injured and that the injuries were non-life-threatening. The injured count includes the suspect. 

While the suspect has not been identified by name, the Post reports that he is 27-year-old Bangladeshi national who lives in Brooklyn and has been in the U.S.for seven years.  

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC's Morning Joe that the suspect 'supposedly was setting the device off in the name of ISIS' and that it was 'definitely a terrorist attack, definitely intended'.
