NYPD officers cleared Times Square Saturday night after they spotted what they considered to be a suspicious truck on 46th and Broadway.
The driver left it running, but he wasn't inside.
Police say two counter-terrorism officers looked inside the truck and saw wires, and what appeared to be a phone charger left on the seat.
Police track down the driver and the all-clear was given.
The NYPD pushed visitors away from the suspicious vehicle, before the all-clear went out shortly before 9 p.m.
