In a news conference, New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that no one has died, but two people are in critical condition. She confirmed that eight people were injued i nwhat she called a “violent rampage through Brooklyn.” There are “seven different locations” to process, Sewell said.
Sor was identified by sources to multiple New York media outlets, including The New York Post and NBC New York.
“We have no idea of motives at this time but this wasn’t an accident,” Councilman Justin Brannan tweeted.
“One victim today is a married father of 2. He was on his way to get his taxes done when the driver of the U-Haul mowed him down. He is now in a coma, fighting for his life. Please pray for him and keep his family in your thoughts tonight,” he wrote.
Police have not released a motive.

Sewell said in the news conference that the incident began at 10:50 a.m. on February 13, 2023, when officers responded to a single male driving a U-Haul truck in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn.

Multiple pedestrians were struck at three different locations in Bay Ridge by a U-Haul truck.
