The man taken into custody by the New York Police Department after Tuesday’s terror attack that killed at least eight is 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov of Tampa, Florida, according to an ABC News report.

Saipov is an Uzbek national and came to the U.S. in 2010, NBC News reported. 

Videos posted online show Saipov dodging cars in lower Manhattan, horns beeping in the background. ABC interviewed a witness who said he saw Saipov run toward a group of children. Police have said the objects Saipov was holding were imitation firearms.

The White House says President Donald Trump has been briefed on the incident. Mr. Trump tweeted his first public response: “We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough!”
