EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. --

The American Dream mall is being evacuated on Black Friday morning in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Gov. Phil Murphy says New Jersey State Police are investigating a bomb threat.

"If you're on site, all customers, tenants, and employees should follow guidance from law enforcement and walk to the nearest exit and safely evacuate the building out of an abundance of caution," the governor posted on social media.

People in the area received emergency alerts on their phones saying to use the nearest exits and to avoid elevators.
