UPDATE : Here is the actual video of a man tossing a fake bomb into a police van, man arrested

At around 11:30 pm last night at W46 Street and 7th Avenue in Time Square, a male in a gold colored SUV tossed an electric devise into the window of a marked NYPD van which was occupied by a uniformed Sergeant and a Police Office. The SUV then fled the scene. The Sergeant immediately drove the van approximately one block in order to leave the proximity of Time Square, which was crowded.

At 6th Avenue, the Sergeant was able to remove the devise which consisted of a candle, a cylindrical object and an electric component with a flashing red light. These items were wrapped in a white cloth. The immediate area was secured and the items were later determined by the bomb squad to be an apparent hoax device. An alert was transmitted for the gold SUV.

At around 2:10 am officers from the Midtown North precinct observed a vehicle matching the description, near Columbus Circle. Upon stopping the SUV a male driver was observed placing a red plastic helmet on his head. The male did not communicate with the officers who then called for backup. Currently emergency services and bomb squad personnel were on the scene, along with hostage negotiators, attempting to engage the suspect, who remained in his vehicle alone.

At 7:45 AM this morning a 52 year old male was taken into custody in connection with the vehicle barricade situation at Columbus Circle in midtown Manhattan.
