The New York Police Department is yet to release details about the incident. The conditions of the injured is yet to be known.
On January 1, Muslim US Army veteran drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, killing 15 people. He had posted videos to social media hours before the carnage saying he was inspired by the Islamic State group and expressing a desire to kill, the president said.
The FBI said it was investigating early Wednesday’s attack in which the driver steered around a police blockade and slammed into revelers before being shot dead by police as a terrorist act and did not believe he acted alone.
The FBI identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, and said it was working to determine any potential associations with terrorist organizations.
