Inert Grenade in Uber Sparks Heavy Police Response in Times Square, Protesters Briefly Block Path

An inert grenade was found in the backseat of an Uber in Times Square.

The discovery was made after an Uber driver dropped off a passenger and saw the grenade.

Thousands of protesters marching to Times Square as part of the Millions March for Palestine blocked the path of the police vehicle responding to the scene.

Several protesters were arrested for obstructing the police vehicle's response.

The grenade was eventually determined to be inert, but the situation caused traffic closures and a heavy police response in Times Square.
