    Reports: Manhattan truck attack suspect identified as Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov
  • Unnamed officials have identified the suspect behind the Manhattan truck attack as 29-year-old Uzbek citizen Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov.

    Witnesses said the attacker allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" (Arabic for "God is great") after jumping out of the truck, which he used to mow down several people.

    The attacker reportedly left behind a note in the truck saying he committed the attack on behalf of ISIS.

  • The New York Police Department is treating the attack as an "act of terror."

    New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said, "There's no evidence to suggest a wider plot or a wider scheme. These are the actions of one individual meant to cause pain and harm and probably death."

    US President Donald Trump said the attacker was a "very sick and deranged person."

    Trump's reaction

  • In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!
