NEW YORK CITY

-- A "suspicious" truck led authorities to evacuate Times Square in Manhattan Saturday night, police said.

"All clear in Times Square after a suspicious truck was left running and unattended," NYPD spokesman J. Peter Donald said on Twitter around 8:35 p.m.

Police later allowed vehicles and pedestrians back into the busy tourist area.

The driver of the truck was being questioned, CBS2 New York reported.

An alert from New York City's emergency management agency was issued around 8:20 p.m. warning of road closures and traffic delays around West 46th Street and 7th Avenue.
