An Uzbek national who entered the U. in 2010, Saipov is believed to be the man who killed eight people and injured more than 12 in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.
Driving a rented Home Depot pickup truck, the suspect collided with bicyclists, pedestrians and a school bus before exiting the vehicle and pulling out a pellet gun and a paintball gun, police said.
The suspect claimed his action was done for ISIS, according to a note law enforcement officials found in the truck, WNBC reported.
President Donald Trump has called the incident a "terrorist attack." New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said there`s no evidence to suggest a wider threat or plot.
