香港01报道,美国纽约市有货车衝上行人路,造成至少8人受伤,其中两人情况危殆,而涉事司机已经被捕。
事发在布鲁克林的瑞奇湾区(Bay Ridge),有目击者表示,货车衝上行人路后撞倒多名途人,之后逃离现场。警方最终在一处通往曼哈顿的隧道口附近截停货车,并拘捕62岁的男司机。

周一上午,纽约布鲁克林发生一起恶性案件,一辆U-Haul货车在布鲁克林冲撞人群30分钟,造成至少8人受伤,其中包括多名警察。
伤者中,2人情况危殆,2人重伤但情况稳定,还有4人轻伤。目前,嫌犯已经被警察逮捕。最新消息显示,嫌犯是一名亚裔男子,62岁,名叫 Weng Sor,与布鲁克林有联系。
巧合的是,今天刚好是2017年同样开货车冲撞人群杀死8人凶手赛弗洛·赛波夫(Sayfullo Saipov)死刑审判阶段的第一天,竟发生了同样的案件,大家很难不把两件事情联想起来。
目前,警方尚未对此是否有关联作出说明。

据警方称,嫌犯首先在上午 11 点左右在 Bay Ridge 的第五大道和 Bay Ridge Parkway 附近撞到至少一个骑轻便摩托车的人,将该男子撞飞数米远。
然后,U-Haul货车又冲上人行道,朝一名行人撞了过去,幸好该名行人及时发现,并往左一跃,避开了致命的撞击。
警察说,他随后在沿途的其他六个地点撞向其他七人,包括骑摩托车的警察,直到他最终被制止。
另一段视频显示,U-Haul货车在日落公园位置被警察拦停了下来,司机被逮捕,据称至少追逐了30分钟才将嫌犯逼停。

“我们目前对嫌疑人的了解非常有限。”纽约警察局局长基尚·休厄尔(Keechant Sewell) 在新闻发布会上说,“这是我们调查的一部分。
纽约市议员贾斯汀·布兰南(Justin Brannan)介绍说,实际上U-Haul货车BK Battery 隧道附近被捕的,我们认为他用卡车至少撞了 6 人,其中2人情况非常糟糕。“请为这些人祈祷。”布兰南说,目前暂时不知道嫌犯的作案动机,但这并非偶然。
纽约市政厅表示,嫌犯已经被拘留,不存在任何其他可信的威胁,纽约警察局仍在调查中。

Weng Sor的动机尚不清楚,但有警方消息人士称他“情绪失常”且无家可归。目前尚不清楚他是如何获得这辆卡车的,记录显示这辆U-Haul货车是1月份从佛罗里达州租来的,Weng Sor没有犯罪记录。
“This driver knew what he was doing, knew that he was hitting people”
Brannan said, adding that when the driver was pulled over, he told police,
