From New York to Los Angeles, cities across the United States are significantly ramping up security in the wake of bombings in Brussels that have left at least 34 people dead and dozens injured.
Just hours after the attacks, which occurred at an airport and metro station in the Belgian capital, the New York Police Department announced it was closely monitoring the situation and deploying additional resources out of an abundance of caution.
“At this time, there is no known indication that the attack has any nexus to New York City,” NYPD spokesperson Stephen P. Davis said in a statement. “We will continue to follow the situation in Belgium closely with the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI and adjust the department’s deployments accordingly.”
More counterterrorism units were deployed in crowded areas and transit locations around New York City, including the Hercules Team unit, which features heavily-armed officers, a K-9 unit and an intelligence officer.
