The potential for vehicle-ramming attacks is an ongoing concern for U.S. law enforcement officials, especially ahead of New Year's Eve. A joint threat assessment about New Year's Eve in New York City's Times Square noted that the use of vehicle-ramming alone or in conjunction with other tactics "has become a recurring tactic employed by threat actors in the West."

The NYPD, out of an abundance of caution, will surge resources to similar areas around the city, including Christmas markets, according to NYPD deputy commissioner for counterterrorism Rebecca Weiner. "We know this is a very festive time, it is a busy time in the city, and we are going to make sure that all of our holiday markets, all of our holiday activities are protected by our counter weapons teams, by officers on patrol, all our counter-terrorism officers, our critical response command," Weiner told ABC New York stationThe Chicago Police Department is aware and continuing to monitor this incident.
