Several pedestrians were reportedly struck by a U-Haul in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Monday morning. NYPD took the driver into custody and is probing for possible explosives.
Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at least eight people were injured and remained at area hospitals.
At approximately 10:50 a.m., officers responded to a single male driving a U-Haul truck in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. The vehicle struck a number of people, ultimately being stopped near the entrance to the Battery Tunnel into Manhattan by highway patrol units. "A man driving a U-Haul went on a rampage in Bay Ridge. He was just apprehended in Sunset Park. Several people were hit and badly injured. We have no idea of motives at this time, but this wasn't an accident," New York City Councilman Justin Brannan tweeted earlier. "I have been briefed on the developing situation in Brooklyn," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tweeted.
