“‘Bomb’ scare at federal building in Lower Manhattan turns out to be empty package”

The US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan had a bomb scare Monday when a suspicious package was left outside its building, cops said.

The package turned out to be empty, a police spokeswoman said.

The alarming call about the package came in from the United States Attorney’s Office at 1 St. Andrews Place around 3 p.m. and led to the NYPD Bomb Squad’s response.
