At least seven people were killed Tuesday afternoon when a speeding Home Depot truck plowed down a Lower Manhattan bike path, running down helpless riders from behind, sources said.
Eyewitnesses told police the driver yelled “Allahu Akbar!” — Arabic for “God is great!” — after leaving the mangled bodies scattered behind his runaway rental truck.
The Middle Eastern man was arrested after police shot him in the rear end following a crash between the truck and a school bus. Sources said he was waving an air pistol and a BB gun when cops reached the scene.
