U-Haul truck injures 8 pedestrians in Brooklyn, suspect in custody

A man driving a U-Haul truck struck and injured several people in New York City on Monday before police were able to pin the vehicle against a building following a miles-long pursuit through Brooklyn.
At least eight people were hurt at two locations, including two people who were in critical condition, according to NYPD commissioner Keechant Sewell.
The truck sped through the Bay Ridge neighbourhood of Brooklyn, hitting people on a sidewalk before police stopped it more than five kilometers away near the entrance to a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
“I just ran outside and I saw one of my drivers laying down outside of the crosswalk, and I tried to calm him down,” witness Rocky Hot said. “It was just a big bang… I saw a U-Haul truck and cops behind [it].”
