U-Haul hits, injures several pedestrians on NYC sidewalk
At least four people were hurt at two locations, fire department officials said. The severity of their injuries wasn’t immediately clear.
The truck sped through the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn, hitting people on a sidewalk at one point, before police stopped it more than 3 miles (5 kilometers) away near the entrance to a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
Aerial video from news helicopters showed the truck on a sidewalk, its path blocked by a police cruiser. Authorities were examining the truck to make sure it didn’t contain explosives.
A spokesperson for New York City Mayor Eric Adams said a suspect was in custody.
“There are no additional credible threats at this time,” Fabien Levy tweeted.
The incident coincided with the start of the death penalty phase in the trial of Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic extremist who killed eight people in 2017 by mowing them down with a rented truck.
It was not clear whether the two events were related.
