A suspicious package has been found at a New York restaurant owned by Robert De Niro, according to local media. The package was removed by a police bomb squad unit, AP reports.
The package was discovered sometime early Thursday, according to sources who spoke with NBC’s New York affiliate.
De Niro is an outspoken Democrat and opponent of Donald Trump. The scare comes just hours after parcels, allegedly containing bombs, targeted Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, billionaire George Soros and California Rep. Maxine Waters as well as CNN’s New York offices.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio described the string of bomb reports as “clearly an act of terror” and said that whoever was behind the attack was trying “to undermine our free press and leaders of our country through acts of violence.”
Police sources told the Washington Post that they believe all the packages were sent by the same person.
