[UPDATE: New Jersey Transit stop in Elizabeth, NJ shut down. Suspected bomb discovered.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW YORK CITY — A large NYPD and FBI operation took place in Brooklyn near the Verazzno Bridge on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses tell B911 that\u00a0several\u00a0NYPD officers in swat gear armed with rifles had a vehicle stopped on the Belt Parkway.<\/p>\n

Five men\u00a0were taken in custody after the FBI called for NYPD backup.<\/p>\n

The men were believed to be headed to the airport, The New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

Officials said the detainment is in\u00a0connection to the bombings in Manhattan on Saturday night.<\/a><\/p>\n

Senator Marty Golden said on Instagram the arrests are due to a “possible connection to the bombing last night in Chelsea.”<\/p>\n

The highway was completely brought to a standstill as New Yorkers watched the operation.<\/p>\n
