wheel of a vehicle that rammed users of a bike path the attack happened in lower manhattan when a white pickup truck veered off west street and along the hudson river the driver plowed into the cycle path and continued for several blocks before especially into a school bus it's already said called it a terrorist attack but say the suspect seems to have been acting alone i hear news right here rescuers race to free children trapped in a shredded school bus they're just some of the victims of tuesday's terror attack in lower manhattan luckily no one on this bus was killed others were not as fortunate. just moments earlier this pickup truck tore down a bike path nearby plowing into cyclists and pedestrians alike witnesses describe the carnage and the ensuing police shoot out in the bike lane clearly in the bike

lane and i see when i go down i see two gentlemen laying right there in the bike lane with tire marks across their body and you could tell that they're not here no more maybe thirty seconds later i hear somewhere between five in time gunshots one after another and that's when i got interested so i turned around to see what happened. when i walked up to it the first thing i saw was a man lying on the ground face down in the middle of the street he was surrounded by police officers it appeared that he was injured. this footage shows the suspect fleeing on foot after jumping from the truck and brandishing but later turned out to be fake guns police shot him in the stomach before arresting him he's now recovering at a hospital. u.s. media have identified the attack suspect as this man twenty nine year old safe say pov from his back is tan witnesses said he could be heard chanting allahu akbar god is great in arabic authorities were quick to label the incident as

a terrorist attack. let me be clear to based on the information we have at this moment that this was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians u.s. president donald trump took to twitter to offer condolences to the victims and their families. he also ordered the department of homeland security to step up its vetting of people traveling to the u.s. . for now authorities say there is no evidence the attack was part of a wider terror plot and they believe the suspect acted alone. our correspondent coston phenomena joins us now from the u.s. capital costs not understand police have the attacker in custody what more can you tell us about him. well as we just heard in the report a young man was a big national who came to the united states legally in two thousand and ten. is

a permanent resident with the so-called green card and worked as a driver for the right hailing service. he has lived in cincinnati also in tampa florida and eventually settled in new jersey near new york just across the river hudson where this terrible incident in manhattan now took place according to the reports we have seen he's married with children seems to have very fundamentalist religious views and police found in the truck a handwritten note apparently in which he said that his allegiance to the islamic states authorities think that he was a lone wolf so he might have been inspired by the i ass but not directly directed

by it ok cousin what about those who were killed or injured in this attack do we know their identities yet we know that five of the victims who were killed were from argentina very tragically these were a group of men who came to new york to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their college graduation also we know that one of the victims that were killed was a belgian national the identity of the other two victims who were killed we don't have yet among those injured also two kids and two adults who were traveling on the bus this truck crashed into at the end of its deadly right now there's already talk of tightening security measures in response to this attack president trump i understand is ordered to step up vetting process is what are you hearing.

it was quite remarkable that president trump so quickly a used this event to promote his anti me gratian and security agenda as the islamist terrorism is a big problem not only in the united states but also in many other western countries but still it's worth mentioning that it's still a thousand times more likely in america in the us to be killed by another american then by is the mr terrorists actually according to some statistics it's more likely to be killed by an toddler in the us than by it is the missed terrorist so the question is really if president trump has his priorities right here when it comes to the issue of violence what was very impressive was the resilience of new yorkers tuesday it was halloween and there was a tradition of big halloween parade which actually took place and i guess some of the people who attended had some mixed feelings but still the message was clear we

are new yorkers we survived september eleventh we will survive this attack and we will not change our way of life because of these terrorists w.'s cause and phenomena in washington thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today german authorities arrested a nineteen year old syrian man under suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack in the northern city of lean a suspect reportedly had online contact with islamist extremists and was gathering materials for a highly explosive ball his intended target is still unclear. pans shinzo abbay has been reelected prime minister by the country's parliament this after the ruling coalition won a landslide victory last month honoring a two thirds super majority he is expected to use his renewed political mandate to push for reforms to the country's pacifist constitution. more than six hundred
