MANHATTAN — The NYPD has stepped up its anti-terror efforts in Manhattan Friday after a series of coordinated terror attacks in Norway.
Officials with the department said in a statement that they have deployed critical response vehicles “and other resources to Norway's Mission and Consulate in Manhattan, as well as to the consulates and missions of Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.”
All of the buildings are in Midtown.
Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said in a statement that NYPD is actively monitoring the situation in Norway for details and motives for the attacks, but has not heard of any specific threats against the city.
Earlier on Friday, Norway was rocked by coordinated terror attacks which killed at least 16 people, CNN reported.
At least seven were killed in a bombing in Oslo and nine were killed in a shooting at a youth camp on Utoya Island about 20 miles away, according to the report.
A Norwegian man was in custody for the shooting, according to CNN.
