Suspicious package cleared at Port Authority

NEW YORK

The entire south wing of the Port Authority has been evacuated, but people have since been allowed back inside.

The package was deemed to be harmless.

The Port Authority says a NJ Transit employee saw someone stuff a bag inside a wall panel.

A bomb sniffing dog was called over and he indicated there may be something suspicious inside the bag.

That's when the terminal was evacuated.
