The NYPD bomb squad was called to the Goodwill store at 157 West 72nd Street around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday after a worker found a grenade and several rounds of what looked like training ammunition for an AK-47-type gun, according to Helen Miller, who was on the scene.

The bomb squad examined the items and found that the grenade was an inert training device and none of the ammo was live, according to Miller, who took these photos.

This is not the first time a grenade has set off a major police alert on the UWS.
