An Uzbek national who entered the U.S. in 2010 on green card, Sayfullo Saipov is believed to be the man who killed eight people and injured more than 12 in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.
Eight people were killed and 11 injured when a pickup driver mowed down cyclists and pedestrians near the World Trade Center, before striking a school bus.
The driver was shot in the abdomen by police after jumping out of the truck with what turned out to be a fake gun in each hand, authorities said.
He has a Florida driver's license but was reportedly living in Paterson, New Jersey, with family, sources told local media.
President DOnald Trump has called the incident a "terrorist attack" and the attacker as "a very sick and deranged person”.
