New York City charges are pending against U-Haul rampage suspect Weng Sor, who family says had a history of mental health issues, convictions for stabbings before the Brooklyn attack.
The mayhem unfolded over 48 minutes as the truck tore through the Bay Ridge area, hitting people at several points along the way before veering on and off a highway as police gave chase. The truck's winding route ended when a police cruiser cut it off and blocked it against a building near the entrance to a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan, more than 3 miles from where the chase began.
The 44-year-old man who was killed suffered a head injury when he was hit by the truck roughly a half hour after it struck the first victim, the police department said in a statement. The truck struck the first victim at 10:17 a.m., police said, and other reports followed as the vehicle moved through a busy section of Brooklyn, just north of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge along New York Harbor.
Katherine Aronova said she saw the U-Haul run a red light, hit a delivery worker on an e-bike in the middle of the road and drag him a short distance. Members of the NYPD bomb squad examine a rental truck that plowed into nine people on Feb. 13, 2023, in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn.The New York Times reported that investigators believe Sor might have been living in the U-Haul and officers found only clothing, bags, pieces of cardboard, strewn water bottles and empty Styrofoam coffee cups inside.
"Very frequently he’ll choose to skip out on his medications and do something like this," Stephen Sor said in an interview outside his Brooklyn home."This isn’t the first time he’s been arrested. It’s not the first time he’s gone to jail."
