Surveillance video released by the Manhattan District Attorney s office shows a burgundy sedan making a sharp U-turn on 7th Street. The car then drives over the sidewalk.
Richard Rojas, 31, was well aware of the carnage he was causing by plowing through helpless tourists in 2017 visiting New York City s Times Square, the prosecutor told a Manhattan jury Monday.
The victims of Richard Rojas’ alleged rampage behind the wheel of a Honda Accord included a New Jersey teen playing hooky from high school with a friend on senior skip day. She was “cut in half” in the attack, prosecutors told jurors during opening arguments in Manhattan Supreme Court.
