After two reported explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon, law enforcement officials in New York City are taking precautionary measures.
“We’re stepping up security at hotels and other prominent locations in the city through deployment of the NYPD’s critical response vehicles (CRVs) until more about the explosion is learned,” Paul Browne, the New York City Police Department’s Deputy Commissioner for Public Information said in a statement.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office referred TPM to Mr. Browne’s statement when asked about the incident in Boston.
