Around 11:50am, the suspicious vehicle at the Queens Place Mall has been deemed a hoax device, police said.
Suspect in hoax bombing was already under NYPD investigation for far-right stunts, like burning George Floyd picture at the Carl Schurz park memorial. Video of that is available here https://twitter.com/MomtifaN/status/1344318680352567297?s=19
