Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with online threats to attack a New York City synagogue, multiple law enforcement sources have told CNN.

New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the arrests in a statement Saturday. Investigators from the FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Counterterrorism and Intelligence Bureau, in collaboration with law enforcement partners, uncovered what she called "a developing threat to the Jewish community" on Friday.

After apprehending them, the two men "were turned over to the NYPD and FBI," the MTA said in a statement. The threats allegedly included references to attacking a synagogue: "Gonna ask a priest if I should become a husband or shoot up a synagogue and die," one post allegedly read. Sources said authorities issued a so-called "Be on the Lookout" -- or "bolo" -- alert to the phones of thousands of police officers in New York City with a picture and a description of one of those being sought. MTA police were notified that the individuals may be traveling back-and-forth from Long Island to New York City or Pennsylvania, according to the sources.

Investigators told CNN there is a strong belief among law enforcement that an imminent attack may have been prevented.
