NEW YORK -- A man who has claimed for years that Google was torturing users with flashing lights crashed a car into a building near the company's New York City headquarters, injuring three pedestrians, authorities said.
A 12-year-old girl and two women ages 50 and 47 were hit by the car, a police spokesperson said. They were hospitalized in stable condition. Images posted on social media show a homemade sign that says"Google Tortured Me!" and what appears to be a gasoline can at the crash scene, which is about a block from Google's 15-story New York headquarters.
