Man claiming to have bomb near TD Garden arrested, sources say

BOSTON — Boston police arrested a man who claimed to have a bomb near TD Garden Wednesday night, sources told FOX25.

The area surrounding TD Garden was blocked off by police for hours after a source said that an officer was approached and told there was a Jeep with a note on it.

The man inside the Jeep had a backpack strapped to his chest and told police it was a bomb.

The incident was reported around the time the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert was letting out.

After hours of negotiations, police arrested the man.

No other information was currently available.
