good monday morning, everyone. major developments in the string of explosive devices discovered in new york and new jersey. >> a device found last night near a railroad station in elizabeth, new jersey, exploded overnight. it was one of five devices discovered inside a backpack in a garbage can. it detonated as the bomb squad was working to disarm it. >> so that happened around the same time that five people were taken into custody in connection with saturday's explosion in midtown manhattan. they were picked up in a traffic stop near the verrazano bridge. the fbi reporting all five of the people may have been from the same family and may have been on their way to the airport.

[ explosion ] >> i'm not saying here. >> that's the view from inside a restaurant a few hundred feet away from that blast in manhattan. luckily, no one there was hurt. everybody remained calm by quite a scare. then you have the u.n. general assembly set to begin in matter of hours. >> the security there is normally tight. it's been increased more, as world leaders including president obama arrive in new york city. abc's ray raimundi joins us from the chelsea neighborhood a little more than a mile from the u.n. >> reporter: that's right. security is very tight ahead of the world leads coming here. multiple law enforcement agencies are telling abc news that the explosion that happened in manhattan, actually right behind me, and the one in seaside park, new jersey, on

saturday possibly, possibly could be connected based on what appears to be similar cell phones used to detonate those devices. those arrests are happening right now, or those five individuals are being questioned by fbi agents right now. the new york metro area. on edge this morning. another device discovered overnight in new jersey. just miles away from new york city. five devices found inside of a backpack. one of them exploding after bomb experts attempted to disarm it. this while authorities say it was right near the verrazano bridge late sunday night where fbi agents stopped what they call a vehicle of interest connected to the bombings. federal authorities trying to get a clearer picture as to who is responsible for placing the device in the manhattan neighborhood. the explosion. the chaos all happening on a balmy saturday night. law enforcement on the hunt. >> the evidence we've collected is being taken to our lab at quantico for review. and we're following every viable lead as we continue to work

jointly with the nypd. >> reporter: piece by piece, investigators are closely analyzing every partial of debris left, including looking closely at this dumpster. twisted and mangled in the aftermath of the explosion. >> it was louder than thunder. but i could feel like -- it was just a large boom. where the building kind of shook. >> i got some type of explosion inside of a garbage can. >> reporter: meanwhile, federal authorities looking into whether a pipe bomb which exploded in this trash can 60 miles away in new jersey is related to the bombings in new york city. >> the word is that both devices are pressure cookers. that they were certainly similar in construct. >> reporter: the explosions and a stabbing rampage over the weekend in a minnesota mall which investigators are calling a potential act of terrorism sparking renewed fears across the country. and in light of those new fears, we understand that law enforcement officials here in new york city are urging everyone to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious here

in the area. diane and kendis? >> and ray, so many incidents on so many scenes right now. let's get back to the story we were talking about. what's happening in elizabeth, new jersey. what are you learning from your post? >> reporter: yeah, kendis. what we can tell you, and what we have learned from law enforcement officials is that one of the five devices found in that backpack -- bomb squad experts were trying to disarm one of them, to cut wires, and that's when it exploded. we understand that this explosion was not controlled. but thankfully, no one was hurt and no one was around the area at the time of this explosion. we do know that law enforcement agents are trying to go through surveillance video to see who exactly placed that device there in elizabeth, new jersey. we understand shrapnel and other evidence from that explosion are now being sent to fbi headquarters in quantico in hopes of piecing together this investigation. diane and kendis, back to you. >> we hear so often see something, say something. sounds like in that case, that may have saved lives.

abc's ray raimundi here in new york for us. ray, thank you. so far, none of the cases has resulted in an arrest. investigators say they're looking at important clues. >> former fbi special agent in charge and abc news contributor steve gomez takes a look at who might be responsible. >> the profile is definitely somebody who was willing to plan and to basically develop these types of bombs. the more we're learning about the devices, the more it seems there's some sophistication. it would require some kind of research, some planning. and there's definitely a lot of information online. and al qaeda and isis has put a lot of that on the internet to where people here in the u.s. could research and try to develop the devices themselves. in this case, we saw, new york city, one that went off. one that did not. so that's typical of the kinds of people that are just trying to do it themselves. so they're probably people that are trying to do it on their own, using the internet to research and then develop. >> our thanks to steve gomez there. the presidential candidates

are reacting to the explosions as well as the knife attack in minnesota. >> donald trump tweeted overnight that he'll make america safe again. he's blaming the policies of president obama and hillary clinton for not protecting the country after the blasts went off in new york. trump immediately called that a bomb. clinton said she wanted to wait for the facts. she later condemned the incidents as apparent terrorist attacks. and a mass stabbing inside a minnesota mall is being investigated as a potential act of terror as well. saturday's attack in st. cloud left nine people wounded. all are expected to be okay. isis is claiming the attacker was a quote soldier of the islamic state. the suspect has not been officially identified. reports describe him as a 22-year-old former college student born in somalia. central minnesota's somali community has condemned the attack. in other news, the crisis in syria is at the top of the agenda later today when the u.n. general assembly meets here in new york. a fragile cease-fire was

weakened when u.s.-led forces killed syrian troops this weekend in an errant air strike. isis was the intended target there. the mistake led to harsh criticism from syria and russia. secretary of state kerry fired back, accusing russia of grandstanding and showboating. it wasn't on water but it was the coast guard to the rescue in oregon. a hiker had injuries to her head and leg and needed to be air-lifted from the trail, about 17 miles inland. the coast guard couldn't get a helicopter in there saturday night because of conditions. the rescue mission was successful the following morning. it was television's biggest night. the primetime emmy awards being handed out in l.a. let's get to some of the winners. >> hbo was a big winner. the series, "veep" repeated as best comedy series. as did its star, julia louis-dreyfus who won a record-breaking sixth emmy for best comedy actress.
