Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal went into lockdown tonight amid a bomb scare, authorities said.
Two suspicious packages were found near the Greyhound bus terminal in the South Building at 40th Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan before 8:30 p.m. — prompting the NYPD bomb squad to swoop in to investigate, officials said.
One of the packages was found to be empty — and the other contained four novelty grenades, or replicas without explosives, sources said.
“No one would have been injured unless the box landed on your head,’’ one law-enforcement source chuckled.
The package with the toy grenades was intended to be mailed to someone, the source added.
The terminal, which had been briefly evacuated, was later reopened.
