United 2098 LGA-IAH diverted to EWR landing at about 1228Z.

The plane appears to have gone off the right side of the runway.

From local news WABC:

Plane flying from LaGuardia to Houston makes emergency landing at Newark
Updated an hour ago
NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- An airplane flying from LaGuardia Airport to Houston, Texas, made an emergency landing at Newark International Airport after the plane experienced a brake problem, the FAA confirmed.

United Airlines flight 2098, an Airbus A320, landed on Runway 22L around 8:46 a.m. [actually N837UA, an A319 landing at 8:28 am - Airbubba] Saturday, and the two left main tires blew when landing. The plane also experienced "other structural damage," according to Port Authority.

Passengers were deplaned via slides, according to the FAA, but the number of passengers aboard the plane is unknown. They were taken by bus to Terminal C.

United spokesperson said in a statement that the plane experienced a "mechanical issue upon take-off."

"Our pilots reacted quickly to ensure the safety of the aircraft and our customers," the statement read.

At the time, all arrivals and departures were canceled but have since resumed, the airport tweeted. Travelers should expect delays.

United said there were no reported injuries, but Port Authority said a few minor injuries were reported.

The FAA is investigating the incident.

United said it is making arraignments [sic] [to] get customers to their final destination.

Just last weekend,
United Airlines Flight 627 partially skidded off the runway at Newark Airport, temporarily shutting down the airport. The plane also had tired [sic] issues during landing.
