Oct 31, 2017: \u00a0At least seven people have been killed in New York after the driver of a truck mowed down people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan. \u00a0 A man who emerged from the vehicle brandishing imitation guns was shot and arrested by police officers.<\/p>\n
Police urged people to avoid the area as a major emergency services operation got under way.\u00a0US police describe the incident as a terror attack, with reports saying the FBI is now leading the investigation.\u00a0New York City\u2019s mayor and New York state\u2019s governor are at the scene.<\/p>\n
One witness, identified as \u201cEugene,\u201d told ABC Channel 7 that he saw a white pick-up truck driving fast down the cycle path alongside the West Side Highway, near Stuyvesant High School, at full speed and hitting a number of people. \u00a0He also reported hearing about nine or 10 shots.<\/p>\n
Another witness, Carina, was picking up her son from a nearby school. She told local TV station WCBS-TV: \u201cI could see a lot of smoke and as I got to the corner that\u2019s when I started seeing people on the west side highway hitting the ground and I saw this guy\u2026 I don\u2019t know what he was holding.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looked like one of those air guns in a weird way. I didn\u2019t know what it was but he was definitely aiming it and it was right there, right by the school.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo immediately everyone just started screaming \u2018shooting! shooting!\u2019 and we all ran. We ran as fast as we could and everyone was scrambling to get their child and scrambling to get into the cafeteria.\u201d<\/p>\n
