TERRIFIED onlookers have been rushed out of Times Square over reports of a “suspicious device.”

A bomb squad and emergency services raced to the scene as terrified tourists evacuated the area on Monday afternoon.

Police responded to the site after receiving a 911 call about a suspicious device, the New York Police Department told The U.S. Sun.

A helicopter could be heard flying over the Midtown area as emergency sirens rang throughout the eerily empty streets.

Cops issued a warning on social media telling people to avoid the scene until it’s cleared.

“Expect emergency vehicles and delays in the surrounding area,” NYPD said.

The blocked off area was near West 43rd Street and 7th Avenue.

Pictures and videos from the Manhattan scene showed crime scene tape blocking off the street.

Footage shared to social media showed the suspicious device was located directly in front of the NYPD station in Times Square.

Images taken from the Syncuity AI office in Midtown showed a member of the bomb squad lying on the sidewalk as they dissected the suspicious package.

The sectioned off area includes the Times Square-42nd Street Subway Station, which is the busiest station in New York City.

The streets were quiet and totally empty, marking a stark contrast to the typical busy hustle of commuters and tourists in Manhattan on a summer Monday morning.

Times Square is at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue between 42nd and 47th Streets.

Following the police investigation, people started to filter back into the area just after noon.
