<p>Another suspicious device was later found nearby and removed by authorities.</p>
<p>New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called the blast, which happened at about 8.30pm on West 23rd street, an “intentional act”.</p>
<p>He said: “Tonight, New York City experienced a very bad incident. We have no credible and specific threat at this moment.”</p>
<p>De Blasio said the explosion had no terrorist connection and wasn’t related to a pipe bomb explosion earlier on Saturday at a charity run in New Jersey.</p>
<p>It’s not clear at the moment who was behind the blast and what motivated it.</p>
<p>A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that a second device officers investigated appeared to be a pressure cooker attached to wiring and a mobile phone.<br />
The source said the device was found inside a plastic bag on West 27th Street.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image-71.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image-71.jpg" alt="image" width="600" height="400" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-97126" /></a></p>
<p>The device was removed with a robot and taken to the department firing range in the Bronx, officials said.</p>
<p>When officers were investigating the second site, police spokesman J Peter Donald tweeted a warning to residents to stay away from windows facing 27th Street.</p>
<p>The law enforcement official also said the explosion on West 23rd street appears to have come from a construction toolbox in front of a residence for the blind. Photos from the scene show a twisted and crumpled black metal box.</p>
<p>Witnesses say the explosion blew out the windows of businesses and scattered debris in the area, but officials said no evacuations were necessary.</p>
<p>Fire Department Commissioner Daniel Nigro said several people were taken to hospitals with injuries.</p>
<p>One person suffered a puncture wound that was considered serious, but he said the other injuries were minor, described as scrapes and bruises.</p>
