Four police officers receive praise for their courageous efforts to stop the New York City pipe bomb suspect.
On Monday, officials described the men as heroes, saying they potentially saved the lives of many people.
This comes after the Port Authority police officers ran towards the source of the explosion, navigating a passageway full of smoke and debris.
Officers Jack Collins, Sean Gallagher, Anthony Manfredini, and Drew Preston are all credited with restraining the Bangladeshi terror suspect.
Their quick actions also earned them recognition by the White House.

Meanwhile, the attempted attack is shedding more light on the dramatic increase of foreign nationals entering the U.S. through chain migration.
This comes after it was revealed the 27-year-old attacker had moved to the U.S. from Bangladesh.
A report from Breitbart News says previously unreleased data from the DHS reveals more than 140,000 Bangladeshi nationals have entered the U.S. since 2005, simply because they had a foreign relative already living in the country.
Just last year under the Obama administration over 18,000 entered the U.S. as so-called chain migrants.
President Trump has long-called for an end to this process as well as the diversity visa lottery.
