How the deadly New York City truck attack unfolded

A deadly truck attack in lower Manhattan this afternoon killed eight people and injured 13 others.

New York Police Commissioner James O'Neill detailed how the incident, which is being investigated as possible terrorism, unfolded in a press conference.

O'Neill said that at 3:05 p.m., the male suspect -- driving a rented Home Depot truck, according to the company -- turned onto the bike and pedestrian path along the West Side Highway.

The driver then proceeded south along the path, plowing into pedestrians and cyclists alike until the vehicle reached the intersection between the bike path and Chambers Street, roughly three-quarters of a mile south.
