"Emergency protocols were initiated immediately. Staff along [with] a handful of voters were escorted out safely," said a tweet dated 12:44 p.m. 

Early voting was briefly suspended at the site, but resumed when police gave the all clear about 15 minutes later. 

NYPD later said the threat was toward a school, not early voting.   

Sunday is the final day of early voting and polls close at 5 p.m. Election Day is Tuesday.
