Early eyewitness reports suggested the attacker plowed into cyclists and pedestrians in Lower Manhattan and shouted "Allahu akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic) before being shot by police. WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump decried an apparent terror attack that killed eight people in his hometown of New York on Tuesday as an act of madness. “In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person,” Trump tweeted. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!”Early eyewitness reports suggested the attacker plowed into cyclists and pedestrians in Lower Manhattan and shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is greatest” in Arabic) before being shot by police. If confirmed, it would be the first act of terror since Trump came to office, although there have been several mass shootings and politically motivated murders.
