A Jewish man is reportedly among the terror victims killed on Tuesday in Manhattan.

Ariel Erlich HY”D, 48-years-old, was one of the eight victims pronounced dead after a terrorist plowed his vehicle down a bike path on the West Side of Manhattan. Erlich was one of 5 tourists from Argentina that were killed.

Sources confirm to YWN that he was rushed to a local hospital in traumatic arrest, but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Reports state that he is a well-known businessman in the steel industry, who had flown with some friends to NYC.

The five were graduates of the Polytechnic Institute of Rosario, and had embarked on a trip New York City to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their high school graduation in 1987.

Misaskim is in touch with the NYC Medical Examiners Office, and is working to ensure proper Kavod Hames.

As YWN has been reporting, The terrorist, 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, was inspired by ISIS, and pledged allegiance to the terror organization in a note handwritten in Arabic he left in his rented Home Depot pickup truck.

Saipov shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he wielded two firearms on the West Side Highway, after ramming his white pickup truck into dozens of bikers on the bike path and then slamming into a school bus. At least 8 people died and 11 were seriously wounded in the deadly rampage.
