A suspicious package has been sent to Robert de Niro’s New York City restaurant, the New York Police Department has said.
A package containing one device was sent to Tribeca Grill, a restaurant the actor owns in Lower Manhattan, two spokesmen for the force told Business Insider on Thursday.
The device did not detonate and nobody was injured, one of the spokesman said. It is now being removed to the NYPD’s facility in the Bronx.
Neither the package’s listed recipient, nor the exact time of the arrival, are clear at this point.
Several explosives have been sent by mail across the country to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump since this Monday.
Packages have been addressed to people including former president Barack Obama and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
De Niro is also a vocal Trump critic, having said “f— Trump” at the Tony Awards earlier this year. He also said he had barred Trump from all the locations of his restaurant chain, Nobu.
The Tribeca Grill package is still under investigation, and police have not linked it to the other explosives received around the country this week.
