Police Arrest Manhattan Bombing Suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami

Manhattan bombing suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami has been taken into custody just hours after the FBI released his name and information to the public.

28-year old man was found in Linden, New Jersey and is reported to have shot at police officers before being taken down.  NBC reports that an officer was shot in the chest during the altercation but was not seriously wounded thanks to his bullet proof vest.

Police believe Ahmad Khan Rahami was not only connected with bombings in New York and Seaside Park, New Jersey, but also the pipe bombs found in a backpack Sunday night in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

President Obama was in the process of addressing the New York and New Jersey explosions over the weekend when the news broke.
