We will be updating this as we get details but this is what we know so far:

The suspect’s name is Richard Rojas…It’s being reported he was intoxicated.

A vehicle drove against traffic on the sidewalk in NYC today. A maroon sedan was seen plowing into pedestrians. The driver is in custody.
A still shot of the suspect:

It appeared as though the driver was trying to escape but was taken down by onlookers and police:

An eyewitness said he saw the car was heading North on Broadway and careened onto the sidewalk:

13 injured – one reported dead

Times Square is a very crowded area so it’s very suspect that the driver was able to get up enough speed to do this.
