"This is not an act of terror," de Blasio said. The driver, 26-year-old Richard Rojas from the Bronx, has a criminal record and two prior DWIs," NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said. He is in custody and is being tested for drugs and alcohol.

Rojas is a US citizen and a former member of the US Navy, de Blasio said.
