New York. Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Thursday afternoon that a fatal incident in Times Square, in which a car killed at least one person and injured nearly two dozen others, did not appear to be related to terrorism, writes Politico.
“Based on the information that we have at this moment, there is no indication that this was an act of terrorism,” de Blasio said at a press conference near the scene of the accident.
Richard Rojas, a 26-year old Bronx man with a history of DWI arrests, was taken into custody, police commissioner James O’Neill told reporters. The deceased was an 18-year-old woman who was visiting the city, and her sister, 13, was also injured.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer wrote on Twitter that President Donald Trump “has been made aware of the situation in Times Square and will continue to receive updates.”
