A man who allegedly drove his car the wrong way through Times Square, in New York, killing an 18-year-old woman and injuring 22 others, has been charged with murder and attempted murder.
Richard Rojas, a 26-year-old US Navy veteran, tested positive for the drug PCP, also known as angel dust, and told police that God made him do it, CNN has reported, citing a law enforcement official.
Mr Rojas also reportedly told police: “You were supposed to shoot me, I wanted to kill them.”
The alleged incident on Friday morning (AEST) followed recent deadly car-ramming attacks in Bourke St, Melbourne, London, Berlin and the French city of Nice.
Officials quickly confirmed there was no terror link.
However officials said that if he had said Allah made him do it he would have been charged with terrorism offence and the nation put on high alert.
When police were asked if God and Allah were one and the same they replied that investigations into that matter were inconclusive at present.
