On Thursday, Perry Roosevelt (originally reported as Roosevelt Terry (sp) by reporter Joel Stonington in the Wall Street Journal) was arrested by police after allegedly leaving a bomb in the waiting room at the Harlem 125th St Metro-North Station.

Roosevelt, a 57-year-old legless amputee, was identified on surveillance footage being wheeled into the station by another man on Thursday morning. Roosevelt was then seen leaving a Steve Madden bag containing a canvas laptop bag with the explosive device.

Various reports include M-80 fireworks, shotgun shells, lug nuts, wires, paper, pens, bullets, and a computer as among the items found in the bag. The device did not include a timer but could have exploded it lit, said police. Some have suggested the incident may have been a ‘dry run’ to observe response.

Vosizneias.com reports law enforcement officials as saying the suspect has past drug offenses and told police a woman gave him the bag.

Police were reported as not identifying terrorism as a motive but the incident remains under investigation.

Two MTA patrol officers discovered the bag at around 11 AM. The station was evacuated and trains rerouted, affecting service until 2 PM.

Roosevelt and the man accompanying him were later arrested. Some reports identify a third man who accompanied the pair still being sought by police.

1010 Wins reported that Roosevelt is now under observation at Bellevue Hospital Center.

MTA Press Spokesman Aaron Donovan told StationStops on Saturday that the surveillance footage had not been released and that there was no mugshot available of the suspect, who is awaiting bedside arraignment at Bellevue.
