6” tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds (90kg). He has brown hair, brown eyes, and brown facial hair.</p> <p>Mayor Bill de Blasio said Mr Rahami could be armed and dangerous. "We need to get this guy in right away," De Blasio said on CNN. "My experience is when the FBI zeroes in on someone, they will get them." </p> <h2><strong>Where is he from?</strong></h2> <p>The FBI says Mr Rahami is a US citizen. He was born in Afghanistan, on 23 January, 1988.</p> <figure class="mediaembed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en" xml:lang="en">Wanted: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28 year old male, is being sought in connection with the Chelsea bombing. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161030021819/https://twitter.com/hashtag/nyc?src=hash">#nyc</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161030021819/https://t.co/hSxhMqO7Qh">pic.twitter.com/hSxhMqO7Qh</a></p> — J.

That matches an address which was raided by the FBI and ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) earlier on Monday. </p> <p>The suspect's family runs a fried chicken restaurant on the first floor of the home, First American Fried Chicken, which has been a cause of complaints from neighbours since it opened in 2010, the New York Times reports.</p> <p>According to one neighbour, Dean McDermott, the elder Mr Rahami was seen a few days ago hauling "computer equipment" into his garden, dousing it in flammable liquid and setting it on fire.</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper
