Students were evacuated from the Gaynor Campus on Graham Avenue Tuesday morning due to threats, according to the NYPD.

“I was very scared for me and my friends. I didn’t know what was going to happen," said Allen Wolfe, a student.

Police say a caller told them an explosive was located inside a first-floor bathroom.

Sources close to the investigation tell News 12 the call came from a California number. They say the caller originally called state troopers, who then forwarded the call to the NYPD.

Students on scene say they were brought to an evacuation campus.

Once the police gave the all-clear, students were allowed back inside.
