A 28-year-old Afghani native wanted in connection with blasts in Manhattan and New Jersey that left 29 wounded has been caught after shooting at a police officer in New Jersey, according to a report.
Ahmad Khan Rahami was arrested after firing at the cop in Linden, WNBC reported.
Rahami, whose fingerprint was found on an unexploded device, was hunted in connection with the explosions that sparked fears of a local terror cell, according to federal officials.
Earlier Monday, FBI agents raided the Elizabeth, New Jersey, home of Rahami, a naturalized US citizen who was deemed armed and dangerous, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
“We need to get this guy in right away,” de Blasio said on CNN. “My experience is once the FBI zeroes in on someone, they will get them.”
The apartment search began after one of five devices found in a backpack at a nearby Elizabeth train station exploded while a bomb squad robot tried to disarm it. No one was injured.

Especially if they move him in to a room with a big black guy from Memphis that eats BBQ pork sandwiches EVERY DAY.
Have they figured out his “intent” as yet? Is he a member of the NRA? Is he a Trump supporter?
PART of the system worked, but it is cold comfort to the injured and the dead (thankfully, not in this case) to know that the perp was caught. Let's see more work on the protect side, not just the serve. Cold comfort to the LEO community, too, that they catch these guys but the judicial system streets them almost immediately.
Hyperbole? 3 guys brandishing an AR-15 while masked in a Miami high-rise and they are already back on the street. Armed trio arrested in Miami Beach walks out of jail: 2 face weapons charges, 1 faces drug charges TODAY!!!
Arrest his useless, “I didn’t do nothin” family of worthless traitor scum.
I am surprised he didn’t yell out, ‘make America great, again’
I mean afterall Trump’s words inspired him...right hillary?
28 year old feral Afghani.
It would have been better if they’d killed him during the gun fight. Now they’ll have to feed, shelter and clothe him for years on our dime.
Will they get immunity first?
No, but they did hear him shouting “Taxed Enough Already!”
He’s a fat slob to boot.
Now his is a naturalized American citizen - can his citizenship be revoked?
Another fat F*ck muzzie living off the taxpayers no doubt.
Agree, get that pillow munchin’, needle tooth grill lookin’, liberal drama queen Shepard Smith off the air!
No dancing virgins for this guy!......no pay off to the family ...it’s a good day in America...we have great cops and investigators and all those assisting them!
And that LE said screw Obama and listened to the people instead of saying they were guilty of Islamophobia.
One stinkin' fingerprint nailed the SOB.
It's never Islam....is it Mr. Obama.
I don’t believe he’s a loner.
