The New York City Fire Department confirmed to Newsweek Thursday afternoon they were called to the 14th floor of 275 Madison Avenue in response to a suspicious white powder. The address was listed in public records as containing the law office of Aaron Schlossberg, the lawyer recorded on video recently ranting against Spanish speakers at a restaurant.
FDNY spokesperson Jim Long told Newsweek the scene was classified as a "hazardous materials" situation and that responders were still on site. At least one person was being "evaluated," though no one had been transported for medical care.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
