The NYPD bomb squad is investigating several suspicious packages left outside of Trump Tower on Friday afternoon, officials say.
Fifth Avenue was closed between East 56th and East 57th streets as the NYPD looked into the packages.
It's not clear exactly what the items are or where they came from, but the NYPD bomb squad is investigating out of an abundance of caution.
Pedestrians and motorists are advised to avoid the area.
President Trump was not in his namesake midtown tower at the time.
