NYC terrorist was an Uber driver

NEW YORK, NY — The man accused of killing eight people with a Home Depot rental truck in Manhattan on October 31in ‘an act of terrorism’ worked as an Uber driver in New Jersey.

Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old Uzbekistan native, passed a background check but has since been banned from the ride-sharing service, Uber confirmed.

The company said it is "aggressively and quickly" researching Saipov’s driving history but has not found "any related concerning safety reports."

Saipov, who had recorded more than 1,400 Uber rides, is accused of driving a Home Depot truck along a bike path near the World Trade Center, killing eight and injuring 11 people before he crashed into a school bus.

The police, who shot and wounded Saipov, said he is in critical condition and was found with two fake guns.

A rented Home Depot truck had barreled down a New York City bike path on Halloween, killing eight people and seriously injuring 11 others.

Saipov immigrated to the United States in 2010, and had listed addresses in Tampa, Florida, and Paterson.
