A trial has finally started for a Muslim from Uzbekistan who killed eight bicyclists and maimed many more people in a truck attack on the West Side Highway of New York City in 2017, where he is pleading not guilty to 28 counts for the attack including murder and attempted murder, as the New York Post also reports.

Using a truck that he rented from Home Depot, 34 year old Sayfullo Saipov ran down his victims at speeds that reached above 60 miles per hour, and he then crashed the truck into a school bus, injuring the driver and causing brain damage to a child.

After the attack, he emerged from the mangled truck and pointed a pellet gun and paintball gun at a responding officer, who shot him once in the groin.  He then gave a “proud confession” when brought into custody, and he continues to say that he is proud of the act even today.
