As commenters on Gothamist Contribute have noted—"Big police activity around 14th street and Irving - something in a car or truck" and "Flammable containers in a car at 15th and Irving. Bomb squad on scene"—the NYPD and FDNY have been checking out a suspicious vehicle on Irving Place between 14th and 15th Street, right outside Con Edison. It does not appear to be a BMW prototype that was left running with a tarp over it; we hear that there are several gas cans in the rear seat—and some buildings may have been evacuated. Update: The police gave the all clear around 1 a.m. after talking to the car's owner.
