Authorities in New York are investigating a persistent gas smell across a large part of lower Manhattan.

Police said they were dealing with many reports of a strange gas-like smell, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was confident it was "not dangerous". A stretch of the commuter train service between New York and New Jersey was temporarily halted, and some Manhattan office buildings were evacuated.

The US Department of Homeland Security ruled out any link to terrorism.

Mr Bloomberg said there were no indications of high levels of natural gas on New York's energy network. "It may just be an unpleasant smell," he told a news conference, but said investigations were continuing.
