Shortly after, police determined there was no threat and were able to clear the scene. No word yet on what the suspicious package turned out to be.
New Haven Police spokesman David Hartman was in a meeting discussing the city’s plans for this weekend’s presidential candidates visits at the time of the incident.
Streets in the area were closed down but have since reopened.
