BROOKLYN Police charged a man with murder in the second degree and seven counts of attempted murder on Tuesday after he allegedly sped through Brooklyn in a U-Haul on Monday, fatally striking one person and injuring several others.
Weng Sor, 62, has several prior arrests dating back to 2002, officials said. The NYPD, using 911 calls, witness statements and surveillance video, developed a timeline of more than an hour, following Sor as he allegedly drove through Sunset Park, Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights before heading back into Bay Ridge.
Following his arrest, Sor said he saw “an invisible object” and said, “I’ve had enough” before he allegedly began his deadly drive through Brooklyn, police said.
Eight civilians were hit, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. Three of those victims were on bikes, three were on mopeds, one was on an e-bike and one was walking before being struck. The victim who died had been on a moped. A police officer was also injured.
Sor, who lives in Las Vegas, rented the U-Haul in Florida on Feb.
