The New York City terrorist attacker was identified as  29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov.

He is an Uzbekistan national/immigrant who resided in Tampa, Florida, CBS has reported.

He was shot in the stomach by NYC police and has been taken into custody

And....woe to the US court system if this terrorist was able to get into the US, due to any judge or judges' decision which may have possibly bypassed Trump's restrictions on certain illegals.

A man in a pickup truck killed eight people when he drove onto the West Side bike path in lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon — and then shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he got out of the car with fake guns, police sources said.

 The suspected terror attack happened around 3:15 p.m., when a man in a flatbed pickup truck from Home Depot veered onto the bike path at West St., a few blocks north of Chambers St., police said.

The suspect, who was shot by police, then plowed his car into up to 23 people on the path, killing eight and injuring more than a dozen others, according to cops.

He continued driving south and hit another car, then got out and displayed “imitation firearms,” police said.

The man then shouted, “Allahu Akbar,” according to police sources.

Witnesses described a scene of terror, as people fled for safety.

“I heard four to six gunshots — everybody starts running,” she added. 

Video of the scene shows at least two people lying limp on the street. Photos show a smashed-up Home Depot rental truck and two mangled Citi Bikes.

Counter-terror police were searching the truck for explosives.

“Oh my God, I just heard gunshots and ran with my dog. Downtown. F–k,” Josh Groban tweeted.

Police shut down the FDR Drive south of 34th Street to rush victims to Bellevue Hospital.
