THE man who drove into a busy New York cycling path killing eight people on Tuesday was radicalised in the US, state Governor Andrew Cuomo said yesterday.

The suspect Sayfullo Saipov, a national of Uzbekistan, was shot by police following the attack near the World Trade Centre site on Tuesday but is expected to recover from his wounds.

Authorities found a note referring to Isis inside the rented pickup truck he used to plough into cyclists and pedestrians, Mr Cuomo said. It claims in Arabic that the 29-year-old committed the atrocity in the name of Isis.
