Man who made empty Liberty Bell threat not from here
A man threatening to blow up the Liberty Bell was detained Saturday, police said, after leaving two backpacks nearby that he said contained explosives.
Two black backpacks were found in front of the Liberty Wheels wheelchair and scooter rental shop at 714 Market Street, a half-block away.
Police arrived around 10:45 a.m. and closed off Market Street between 7th and 8th Streets.
Shortly after, a member of the Philadelphia Police Department's bomb squad unit began examining the backpacks. Other members of the unit arrived later, going back and forth between the bags and the testing equipment in their van. The results came back negative for hazards, a bomb squad officer said.
Market Street reopened to pedestrians and traffic around 11:45 a.m. The Liberty Bell remained open throughout.
