LINDEN — Ahmad Kham Rahami, the man wanted in New York and New Jersey bombings that disrupted communities throughout the region this weekend, is in police custody after exchanging fire with officers in Linden, authorities say.

Capt. James Sarnicki confirmed to New Jersey 101.5 two officers had been shot in the altercation late Monday morning. ABC 7 quoted the mayor of Linden saying Rahami had been shot as well. It was not immediately clear how badly any of those involved were injured.

Authorities had swarmed around Rahami's last known address in Elizabeth Monday morning, hours after five explosives were found by two homeless men in a backpack in a garbage can near an NJ Transit station. One of the explosives detonated as authorities tried to disarm it.

Those explosions followed other this weekend — one in Chelsea that injured 29 people, and another before a planned Marine 5K in Seaside Park. The FBI identified Rahami as a suspect in the Chelsea shooting Monday morning, and New Jersey State Police said the Seaside Park incident was considered connected.

Authorities have not yet said whether the Elizabeth incident was also connected, though it occurred about a mile from Rahami's home and the family-owned chicken shot where he worked.
