One woman has been killed and 22 injured after a car ploughed into a pavement full of pedestrians in New York City's Times Square.
The 26 year old driver, who has been named as Richard Rojas, is now in custody. Authorities say he is a US navy veteran with two previous arrests for drunk driving.
The FBI is investigating the incident but officials say there is so far no link to terrorism.
This woman saw the car mount the kerb and travel for three blocks before crashing:
