An New York Police Department officer on a routine call has emerged as a hero after shooting and downing Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, the suspect in New York City's deadliest terror attack since September 11, 2001.
Around 3:05 p.m., Saipov mounted a curb in a rented pickup truck and tore down several blocks of a popular bike path on Manhattan's west side, killing eight and wounding 11 others.
28-year-old NYPD officer Ryan Nash, who was out on a unrelated routine call trying to locate an emotionally disturbed person, then spotted the chaos as Saipov ended his run.
Nash "confronted the subject and shot him in the abdomen," Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill said during a press conference following the attack.
