Cops are investigating bomb threats at two Manhattan locations, law- enforcement sources said.
A caller phoned 911 at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 15 and stated that an explosive device had been placed in Union Square, the sources said.
The call was made from a nearby pay phone at Broadway near East 13th Street, but police found no suspect there, sources added. The threat was proven unfounded.
Then, on Tuesday at about 7:40 a.m., a caller dialed the Hotel Gansevoort on Ninth Avenue in the West Village and claimed to have placed bombs on each floor that would detonate in 102 minutes, sources said.
Cops found no suspicious devices anywhere at the hotel, the sources added.
It’s unclear whether the two incidents are connected, the sources said.

He’s one bad apple.
A masked gunman attempted to rob a fruit-and-vegetable import business in Hunts Point, cops said.
A 58-year-old truck driver was unloading produce outside T&T Imports on Austin Place at about 5:25 a.m. Tuesday when the bandit approached, cops added.
The two men started to fight, and at some point the perp’s gun went off.
No one was hit, and the suspect locked the victim in the truck’s rear cargo area, cops said.
He then ransacked an office but left empty-handed.
While fleeing, the thug pointed his weapon at a 53-year-old man who works in an adjoining business and had gone to check on the commotion.
