Police Scour Video in Search of Times Square Bomber



NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- Police believe they may have found the bicycle that carried a hooded, solitary bomber to a high-profile target: a military recruiting center at the heart of Times Square.

But they have yet to close in on a suspect in Thursday's pre-dawn attack, which damaged the landmark recruiting station but hurt no one.

As Times Square returned to business as usual Friday, police released a photo of the bicycle, looked at dozens of security videotapes and scoured Times Square for possible witnesses.
