On Tuesday afternoon, a white pickup truck sped down a protected bike path and collided with a bus, killing eight people and injuring several others. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has called the attack an "act of terror."

Six males are reported to have died at the scene, and two people died later at the hospital. Others are being treated for injuries.

The attack took place on an approximately 20-block stretch of a protected bike path along West Street in Lower Manhattan. The suspect entered the bike path from the roadway at Houston Street, driving south to Chambers Street and exiting his vehicle after colliding with a bus close to Stuyvesant High School.

The alleged attacker is a 29-year-old man named Sayfullo Saipov. Law enforcement officials told the Washington Post that Saipov immigrated from Uzbekistan five or six years ago and had been living in Tampa, Fla. The New York Police Department has named terror as a possible motive, but additional details are forthcoming.
