Daniel Parmenter of Kildare Terrace has been charged with making a bomb hoax threat after the US embassy was locked down due to a suspicious package incident.
The embassy was immediately locked down as armed police carried out a controlled explosion of the item, causing a loud bang and increasing fears in a high-density area.
People, including those queuing for visa appointments, were locked inside the embassy for over an hour, highlighting the disruption caused by the incident.
The Metropolitan Police stated that the initial indications suggested the item was a hoax device, but the investigation will determine the full details of the incident.
