29 people were injured in the Flatiron District blast, though no one was killed. Rahami is also being sought for questioning in regards to other bombs found in Manhattan and New Jersey, the AP reports.
It is unclear whether the coupe or the sedan is the vehicle in question. Anyone with information should contact local police.
Footage obtained in Elizabeth, New Jersey appears to show an explosive device detonating near police robots as they attempted to disarm it.
Update: NBC New York says that Rahami has been taken into custody by police in Linden, New Jersey, after reportedly shooting a police officer.
