Crowds fled a jam-packed Penn Station on Friday evening in a chaotic scene sparked by what people thought was a gunshot, but what turned out to be police using a Taser while making an arrest. The disabled train finally arrived in Penn Station after three hours, where six passengers were treated by the FDNY for “non life-threatening injuries.”

One of the passengers allegedly became belligerent, and Amtrak police were forced to Taser the man, causing the stampede, according to WNBC. Morris described how police received “several dozen” reports of shots fired “from Penn Station and on 34th Street from Seventh Avenue to Broadway.”

“All of those calls were determined to be unfounded,” Morris said, adding that they were able to “quickly review all of the 911 calls and determine that there were no actual shots fired.”

Morris said the area was determined to be safe by approximately 7:10pm. @NYPDMTS — NYPDCounterterrorism (@NYPDCT) April 14, 2017
