Port Authority cops swept the nation’s tallest building for explosives Tuesday after City Hall received a threat, law enforcement sources said.
Cops and bomb-sniffing dogs did a floor by floor search of the 1,776-feet tall lower Manhattan skyscraper beginning at about 12:30 p.m. after a woman made a threatening call to City Hall officials.
“Evacuate Tower 1 immediately,” said the caller, who phoned City Hall on a hard-to-trace pre-paid cellphone.
The search was completed at about 1:30 p.m., officials said.
No explosives were found.
No one was ever evacuated from the building, according to Port Authority Police Department spokesman Joe Pentangelo.
