A truck plows into people in New York City in cowardly act of terror-8 dead.

Today a cowardly act of terror stuck in New York when a man driving a rental truck struck and killed eight people on a bike path on Tuesday afternoon. The sprawling crime scene runs about 10 blocks along the west side highway, a few blocks away from the one world trade center.

According to one witness he was walking along the path when he saw a truck plow into two cyclists riding about 20 feet in front of him. According to him the impact sent one of the victims straight up into the air, and the man was motionless when he landed back on the ground.


The driver then continued at a high speed before crashing. A uniformed police officer was credited with stopping the carnage. According to him a suspect is in custody and is identified as 29 year old sayfullo saipov of Tampa, Florida.


Now the terrible news is that the suspect is reported to have screamed allahu akbar after the crash and this is the key reason I am personally looking at terrorism as a possible motive. The suspect has left a note saying he carried out the attack on behalf of ISIS.

Both the NYPD and FBI are seeking public assistance in the investigation into the terrorist act that occurred in lower Manhattan earlier today. However you can be rest assured as more police would be monitoring the streets on Halloween night. The city's annual Halloween parade in the West Village will still take place tonight.
