A suspicious powder was found at Sen. Charles Schumer’s Midtown Manhattan office Friday, authorities said.

A Joint Terrorism Task Force headed to the scene at 757 Third Ave. after an envelope containing white powder was opened, police said. The building was evacuated as a precaution.

When the powder was found, Schumer wasn’t in his 17th-floor office, police said.

There were no reports of injuries, and preliminary tests showed that the substance is not explosive. Anthrax however, has not been ruled out according to law enforcement sources.
