Enraged U-Haul driver in Brooklyn may have tried to commit ‘cop suicide’

Police sources said on Tuesday that the frustrated U-Haul driver who hit nine people, killing one of them, may have been attempting “cop suicide.”

Detectives are investigating the possibility that Ven Sor wanted to kill himself while on his horrific tour of Brooklyn, which resulted in dozens of walkers trying to find cover.

“Shoot me! I won’t stop!” Sor, 62, yelled at police when they took him into custody after a wild chase Sor was in police custody on Tuesday pending criminal charges.

According to police sources, investigators determined that he was purposefully aiming at the people he hit, of various ages and nationalities.

Sora’s rampage began at 10:17 a.m. Monday at Fourth Avenue and 54th Street in Sunset Park before moving south to Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, police said. At one point in the riot, Sor drove his U-Haul truck onto the pavement. It then changed direction and headed north towards downtown Brooklyn.

A 44-year-old e-bike rider died at NYU Langone Hospital after Sor crashed into him near the corner of Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge Boulevard during a rampage.

The man died from a “blunt trauma” inflicted by a Sor U-Haul truck, police said.

“The truck was pulling the bike down the street, but it didn’t stop,” Kida Recepey, 41, who owns a business on the street, told the Daily News on Monday. “He walked a block and came back to himself, but kept walking.”

Sor fled to the Gowanus Expressway and was eventually captured at the entrance to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel at Red Hook about 90 minutes into his spree.

Police say Sor was born in Malaysia and is a US citizen. According to the documents, he was sentenced to a year in a Nevada state prison for stabbing his brother in Las Vegas in 2015.

Relatives said that Shor suffers from a mental illness.

“Very often he refuses to take medication and does something like that,” his son Stephen Sahr told Daily News. “This is not the first time he has been arrested. It’s not the first time he’s been in jail.”

Sor lived in the U-Haul, which kept boxes, clothes, and other items. According to U-Haul, the car was rented Feb. 1 in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was supposed to return on March 3 at the same place.

Earlier this month, Sor received two Belt Parkway summonses for speeding and for using a commercial vehicle on the parkway.
