NY driver charged in deadly rampage

A US Navy veteran whose car plowed into pedestrians in New York City's Times Square, killing a woman and injuring 22 others, has been charged with murder and attempted murder, police said on Friday.

The incident on Thursday sparked fear in the US financial capital after similar deadly vehicle attacks in London, Berlin and Nice, France, but authorities said there was no evidence the crash was terror-related.

Richard Rojas, 26, from the Bronx, was arrested at the scene and later charged with second-degree murder, 20 counts of attempted murder and five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, police said.
