2017 New York City attack

The 2017 New York City attack occurred on 31 October 2017 when Islamic State sympathizer Sayfullo Saipov rammed his Home Depot pickup truck into passers-by on a bicycle lane on the West Side Highway of Manhattan, New York City, killing 8 and injuring 11. He ran over bicyclists and pedestrians on the bicycle path before colliding with a schoolbus carrying special needs students, and he proceeded to exit the vehicle, shout "Allahu akbar", and open fire with a pellet gun. He was eventually shot in the abdomen and taken into custody by the NYPD.
