(WSB Radio) Bomb squad units successfully detonated one of two suspicious packages found at the West End MARTA Station, authorities said.

MARTA Police, Atlanta Police, and Atlanta firefighters responded after the packages were found just after midnight Saturday. Lee Street was blocked off for the investigation. MARTA passengers were taken off the trains and transported by bus.

Authorities are investigating the contents of the second package. They think a liquid chemical was inside. Authorities have not said exactly what that liquid was.

Police said no one was injured.

  • MARTA Bomb Scare
    I'm proud of how they acted and prevented the hurt or harm of the passengers. While it was a bit uncomfortable and I lost some time, I am grateful to not have been in harm's way.
