New York City: On October 31 2017, police responded to West St & W Houston St for multiple 911 calls of a man driving a truck down a path and seriously wounding several people.

Seven minutes after the initial reports, a Citizen user captured footage of the massive police response at the scene; over the airwaves, officers had requested backup after confirming multiple victims in the roadway.

Multiple specialized units, including SWAT personnel, rushed to the area. All civilian traffic was evacuated as a crime scene was established. For the next 20 minutes, police secured Tribeca while working to determine the extent of the incident.

Although it wasn't confirmed until later that evening, officers determined that a man had run a truck over numerous pedestrians on the Hudson River bike path, killing eight.

At 3:35 PM, Emergency Service Unit (ESU) officers confirmed that the suspect had been taken into custody. In the following hours, many more specialized teams arrived to canvass the area and collect evidence. Officials later determined the attack to be an act of terror.
