Just The News: New York police on Monday arrested a man suspected of hitting at least eight pedestrians with a U-Haul truck, officials said.
The suspect “went on a rampage in Bay Ridge,” New York City Councilman Justin Brannan tweeted. He said officials are unsure of the suspect’s motives but know it was not an accident.
Police stopped the driver after more than three miles, The Associated Press reported.
Eight people were hurt at two different locations and the driver even hit pedestrians on the sidewalk at one point, according to officials. Two people are critically injured, police said.
The driver was arrested near a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
No race/ethnicity mentioned…
Got to guess…
Assault trucks have no place on our streets.
Musta wanted to get outta the city bad…. too many illegals now.
If you can’t find a U-Haul truck it’s because so many are in the Phoenix area. The lot at the U-Haul by us is full of trucks there’s no room for customer’s cars.
According to the AP story, the driver is “Weng Sor”.
So that apparently narrows the suspect pool down a bit.
I wonder what he got “Sor” about?
They need “NO U-HAULS ON SIDEWALKS “ signs.
Can they make Brooklyn a U-Haul free zone?
Oh wait! Soooo the truck didn’t do it after all???
Well this changes everything!
