New York City’s police commissioner warned that they’re looking into a possible terror threat ahead of the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Jessica Tisch said that the NYPD – which typically adds more security than usual on the day – will ramp it up even further on Thursday.

‘Out of an abundance of caution we are surging resources and you can expect to see an increase in police presence at critical infrastructure locations,’ she said at a press conference Tuesday.

‘Based on threat reporting, which increases this time of year around the anniversary of 9/11, UN General Assembly and the Jewish high holidays, we are monitoring threats against critical infrastructure, including bridges and tunnels connecting Queens and Manhattan,’ she added.

The New York Daily News reported that the threat involves potentially putting explosives in the bridges and tunnels that connect Manhattan and Queens.

Tisch noted that the city is working with its federal partners to investigate the potential threat.

‘You can expect to see an increased police presence at critical infrastructure locations,’ she added.

The city’s transit authority added that they would be part of the surge as well.

‘MTA Police are working with the NYPD and other law enforcement partners to ensure presence in appropriate locations, as we continue to monitor the situation,’ MTA Chief Security Officer Michael Kemper told The Daily Mail in a statement.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the NYPD for further comment.

In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed when the hijackers crashed jetliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in southwest Pennsylvania during the Sept. 11 attacks.

More than 2,700 of those victims perished in the fiery collapse of the trade center’s twin towers.
