SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Nasdaq stock market was evacuated and the area cordoned off on Wednesday after a suspicious-looking van in Times Square triggered concerns, according to media reports. The New York Police Department bomb squad is investigating the van while the area around 42nd Street between Seventh Avenue and Broadway has been blocked off, the reports said. The van is a 1992 Dodge with tinted windows and a placard from a nonexistent law enforcement agency is on the dashboard, according to the Associated Press. The vehicle has no license plates, the news agency said.
