NYC attack marks 11th vehicle terrorist attack this year
A man plowed into pedestrians and bicyclists in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday, killing at least eight people and injuring several others. The attack was described by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as an “act of terror.”
The man reportedly rented the vehicle used in the rampage from Home Depot in nearby Jersey City, N.J. then drove into New York City.
