The man accused of a Brooklyn U-Haul truck rampage that left one person dead and several others injured appeared in court on Wednesday.
Prosecutors say Weng Sor, 62, said "I wanted to hit those people."and seven counts of attempted murder.Stephen Sor said he was surprised when his father showed up in Brooklyn in the middle of the night about a week ago. He said they didn't speak often and described their relationship as "rocky."
On February 6, Sor arrived at his ex-wife and son's home, and a few days later had an altercation with his son. On that same day, he was stopped by the New York City Highway Patrol and given two summonses, one for speeding and another for having a commercial vehicle on the Belt Parkway. The nine people struck by the vehicle ranged in age from 30 to 66. All were men. One of the injured people was a police officer.
The truck's winding route ended when a police cruiser cut it off and blocked it against a building near the entrance to a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan, more than 3 miles from where the chase began.
