The suspect, who claimed responsibility in the attack that injured 29 people in Chelsea, said the act was part of a protest in New York's continuous discrimination on the LGBTQ community.

This after investigators are closing in on the owner of a Tumbler page claiming, "I'm the NY bomber" while noting that the page was the suspect's manifesto.

The Tumblr post reads, “I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society.”

Operatives of the New York Police District are on the hunt of the suspect while urging the community to report to authorities if they have knowledge of the incident.

On the Twitter, the NYPD says:

Investigators said the explosion along West 23rd Street was due to an improvised explosive device. The NYPD revealed that there are two active crime scenes. The other was along West 27 Street. Various government operatives are now exerting coordinated efforts in conducting further investigation of the incident.


The NYPD also reported that all 29 people injured in the Chelsea explosion have been released from the hospital.


On a report by CBS New York, the complete controversial Tumblr post reads: “You probably have all seen the news by now, the explosives detonated in New York City, that was me. Those were just some tests, I know where I have made errors and I will not make the same mistake next time.”

“I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society.”

“It is 2016 and we are still being viewed as mentally ill, sinners, attention seekers, and just plain weirdos in general. I am not going to stand by while under classed and underprivileged people are oppressed. I am not going to stand by while there is inequality in my country such as the racism being seen in white police officers all over the country. I am not going to live in a country where it is OK to have a misogynist, xenophobic, racist Islamophobic, republican candidate running for President of The United States! That’s implying that republicans in general should even be taken seriously as they are all cisgendered privileged white people,” the post reads.

“This is not the end, this is just the beginning. I will be remembered. I will make a difference. I will eliminate my targets before it is too late.”

The Tumbler page has been taken down hours later. Chelsea is among New York's most LGBT-friendly communities.
