A suspect has been arrested in New York after people were reportedly shot at and mown down by the driver of a vehicle.

Police said they had made the arrest after responding to reports of shooting near the West Side Highway in Lower Manhattan.

They urged people to avoid the area as a major emergency services operation got under way. Witnesses say a man drove at cyclists in a cycling lane before opening fire. At least five people were hurt, news channel PIX 11 reported.

A gunman emerged from a crashed Home Depot truck and opened fire after apparently plowing down four riders Tuesday afternoon on a Lower Manhattan bike path, eyewitnesses said.

The NYPD reported one man was in custody after initial reports of gunfire set off a mad scramble in the downtown area. Police flooded the area shortly after the first shots were fired around 3 p.m.
