CNN and Yahoo news are reporting that the Amtrak platform at NY Penn station has been closed down by police, some wearing hazmat suits. Anyone who's in the city have more info on this?
 
Only a small section near the main entrance was closed to investigate an odd green liquid running out of a soda bottle. Hazmat crews were called in to remove the bottle and it's been brought in for testing.

No trains were affected, no platforms were closed, only one corner of the concourse was closed, and most ticket windows remained open.
 
Authorities briefly closed part of Penn Station on Friday and commuters headed to work under the watchful eyes of police after a newly disclosed terror threat against the New York subway system.
A discarded soda bottle filled with an unidentified green liquid was found at the station during morning rush hour, Amtrak officials said. The substance did not pose a threat to passengers and was removed for testing.
The full story from 1010 WINS News Radio.
