New York City Authorities are calling the explosion below the Port Authority Bus Terminal an isolated attempted terrorist attack.

Investigators say 27-year-old Akayed Ullah detonated a homemade pipe bomb attacked to him in a busy transit hub during Monday's morning commute. The blast injured five people. Authorities say the pipe bomb itself did not explode, which lessoned the impact.

The suspect suffered wounds and burns and remains in the hospital. Officials say he pledged allegiance to ISIS and he acted in response to Israeli actions in Gaza
