NEW YORK — A person has claimed responsibility for detonating an explosive in New York's Chelsea neighborhood Saturday night. Police confirmed Sunday that they are aware of the manifesto and are investigating its validity.
The investigation is in its early stages, and the primary concern is credibility behind the posting titled, "I'm the NY Bomber: This is will be my manifesto," sources tell PIX11's Mario Diaz.
The individual titles two posts, "Taking a human life" and "Manufacturing Test Explosives," and claims the reason for Saturday night's attack is bringing attention to issues surrounding those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning.
The alleged manifesto was pulled offline about 45 minutes after media outlets began reporting on the story.
The explosion in Chelsea at West 23rd Street injured 29 people and caused "significant damage" to the area.
No arrests have been made.
