The 66-year-old man who frantically leapt out of the way of a rampaging U-Haul truck driver on a Brooklyn sidewalk says he doesn’t know how he did it
rampaging U-Haul truck driverMohamed Abdelmagid, a car service driver, was strolling to his dispatch office Monday morning when he looked up from his phone just in time to see the truck barrel onto the sidewalk.
Then, the prone Abdelmagid was nearly run over by a police car flying up the sidewalk in pursuit of the U-Haul. Abdelmagid was lucky to survive. The truck, driven by a man with a history of violence and mental illness, hit at least nine people as it wove through the streets of Brooklyn's Bay Ridge section.
The man driving the U-Haul, identified by his son as Weng Sor, 62, was arrested after police were able to corner the truck near the entrance to a highway tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Authorities were still considering what charges to file.
