According to BBC,CNN and other News websites,at least eight people have been killed and 11 seriously hurt in New York after the driver of a truck mowed down people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan.

A 29-year-old man who emerged from the white pick-up truck was shot by a police officer and arrested. Officials later said it was a terror attack.

New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner James O’Neill said the injured had “serious but non-life threatening injuries”.

He described what had occurred, based on the latest information he had received:

-Shortly after 15:00 local time (19:00 GMT), a vehicle rented from retailer Home Depot struck cyclists and pedestrians while being driven along the West St-Houston St path for many blocks.

-The vehicle then hit a school bus, injuring two adults and two children on board, and came to a halt.

-The driver emerged holding what appeared to be two handguns and made a statement “consistent with a terror attack”.

-He was shot in the abdomen by a police officer stationed near the scene.
