A menace left a mysterious liquid-filled jug outside a Manhattan NYPD precinct — with an ominous letter warning that “chlorine gas is a bitch”, law enforcement sources said.
The unidentified man dropped off the gallon-sized glass jug outside the 6th Precinct station house on West 10th Street near Hudson Street in the West Village around 4 p.m. Thursday, the sources said.
An attached note said, “I seriously hope you didn’t open that jar because chlorine gas is a bitch,” according to the sources.
The note also warned that the next jar or bag would be a bomb, and that it’s heading to the West Virginia International Yeager Airport, the sources said.
The suspect, last seen wearing a black jacket, black hoodie, sunglasses, a face covering and black sneakers, fled the scene, the sources said.
The NYPD’s Bomb Squad responded and brought the unknown substance in for further testing, and it was found to be no danger, according to the sources.
The NYPD’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau were notified, as well as the city’s Department of Environmental Protection.
