Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued the following statement on the terror attack in lower Manhattan:
“Today’s attack was a senseless and cowardly act of terror against our city, our state, and our country. Like all New Yorkers, I am grateful for the NYPD and all of our first responders, who work tirelessly and courageously today and every day to keep us safe. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims of today’s attack. New Yorkers will always stand united against any and all acts of hate and terrorism. We will not be intimidated, and we will not be deterred.”
