ALBANY - An explosion rocked a portion of downtown Wednesday afternoon, though it does not appear that anyone was injured.
The incident happened at about 4 p.m. near the intersection of State Street and Broadway, a part of the neighborhood that includes SUNY headquarters and the U.S. District Court House.

Witnesses said the blast could be felt in surrounding businesses.
