Police were looking at as many as four packages initially deemed suspicious, but they were later determined to be unfounded.

The victims were taken to various hospitals.

NYU Langone-Brooklyn told the ABC News Medical Unit they took eight patients who are in stable condition.

The suspect was described as a Black male, 5-foot-5 and 175 to 180 pounds.

Gas masks have the eye lenses or face plates that allow yo to see at least some of the wearer's face. Also the do not cover the neck, hands etc.
