Multiple Manhattan buildings were evacuated Wednesday after police responded to a suspicious package in the area of Columbus Circle, CNN reports.

The NYPD confirms it responded to a suspicious package at Columbus Circle just after 10 a.m. People are asked to avoid the area. The CNN newsroom was evacuated as a precaution, according to CNN.

Multiple people have also tweeted that the nearby Whole Foods market has been evacuated. The situation unfolded as authorities confirmed they intercepted a pipe bomb intended for the White House.

Less than an hour before that, the United States Secret Service said it intercepted two potential explosive devices earlier this week that were addressed to former President Barack Obama and the Chappaque home where 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, live.

On Monday an explosive device sent to the New York home of George Soros, a billionaire philanthropist, was also intercepted, officials said.

Soros, who made his fortune in hedge funds, frequently donates to liberal causes and is vilified on the right, the Associated Press reports.
