Man Grabbed Over New York Shooting Incident

A suspect has been arrested in New York after people were reportedly shot by the driver of a car.

Police said they made the arrest after responding to “reports of shots fired” near the West Side Highway in Lower Manhattan.

They urged people to avoid the area as a major emergency services operation was under way.

Unconfirmed reports on social media suggest a man drove at cyclists in a cycling lane before opening fire.

The number of casualties is at present unknown.
