Covered in burns to his torso as cops arrest him, the “suspect” can be seen slumped on the floor injured.

The man’s clothes are torn apart, while a white material can be seen stuck to parts of his body.

He is being handcuffed in the image and wearing beige trousers, a navy coat and grey beanie hat.

While an ID image of his face also emerged.

The explosion ripped through a underground passageway at Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal at 7.30am (12.30pm UK time).

It sparked widespread panic as terrified tourists reportedly "stampeded" from the scene. Three people suffered minor injuries.

The suspect was also injured in the incident, and it later emerged he had been carrying an explosive device strapped on to him and that it was deliberate.

US President Donald Trump finally released a statement calling on terrorists to get the "death penalty".

Ullah is from the Bangladeshi city of Chittagong and is a US resident, the country's police chief said.

He had no criminal record there and last visited Bangladesh on September 8, the chief said.

Ullah had a black cab and limousine driver's licence from 2012 to 2015, after which it expired, the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission said.

He is believed to have been motivated to carry out the attack by Israeli miltary action in Gaza.

Times Square lies just 500 yards away from the bus station, which connects to an underground subway network.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said it was "an attempted terrorist attack".

He added: "As New Yorkers our lives revolve around the subways. When we hear of an attack in the subways it is incredibly unsettling."
