Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said two men called police and reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of the package after finding it in a trash can around 8:30 p.m.
Media at the scene reported hearing a loud explosion and smelling gunpowder at around 12:40 a.m. Monday after Bollwage said earlier that the Union County bomb squad’s robotic device indicated that the package could’ve been a live bomb. There was no report of injuries following the explosion.
Bollwage said the FBI and state police would decide how to remove the devices.
New Jersey Transit service was suspended early Monday between Newark Liberty Airport and Elizabeth, and New Jersey-bound Amtrak trains were being held at New York Penn Station, officials said.
Riders reported being stuck on Amtrak and NJ Transit trains for hours Sunday night, while some trains moved in reverse to let passengers off at other stations.
The discovery of the suspicious package comes a day after an explosion in Manhattan injured 29 people, and an unexploded pressure-cooker device was found four blocks away. Also Saturday, a pipe bomb exploded about an hour from the Elizabeth train station in Seaside Park, New Jersey, forcing the cancellation of a military charity 5K run. Officials said it didn’t appear that those two incidents were connected, though they weren’t ruling anything out.

WE BETTER ALL GET SMART AND GET TOUGH, BECAUSE JUST LIKE FRANCE, WE ARE BEGINNING TO FIND OUT WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE INCIDENTS HAPPENING ONE AFTER THE OTHER, ALTHOUGH MANY ARE BEING COVERED UP BY THE COMPLIANT GLOBALIST MEDIA. THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN FRANCE AND SWEDEN IN THE BEGINNING OF THEIR ALLOWING MIGRANTS INTO THEIR COUNTRIES, THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE ONCE MUSLIMS HAD SUFFICIENT NUMBERS IN THOSE COUNTRIES, AND NOW THEIR TOURISM IS DOWN TO ALMOST ZERO AND MOST RESIDENTS ARE FLEEING TO EITHER HUNGARY OR RUSSIA BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE TO BE GERMAN IN GERMANY; ITS NOT SAFE TO BE FRENCH IN FRANCE. ITS NOT SAFE TO BE SWEDE IN SWEDEN….ETC…..AND IF WE ALLOW THIS PANSY ASS ANTI-AMERICAN ASSHOLE IN OUR WHITEHOUSE TO CONTINUE LETTING THESE PPL INTO OUR COUNTRY, ITS NOT GONNA BE SAFE FOR AMERICANS IN AMERICA.
