A witness captured the moment that truck-terror attack suspect Sayfullo Saipov was arrested by New York’s Police Department (NYPD) following the killing of eight people in Manhattan, New York on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old Uzbek immigrant mounted a bike path and mowed pedestrians before colliding with a bus and coming to a halt. The driver reportedly left the vehicle with fake guns, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller stated that, Saipov, a legal permanent resident in the US, was following the instructions of so-called Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL).
