NEW YORK — A man steered his car onto a sidewalk running through the heart of Times Square and mowed down pedestrians for three blocks Thursday, killing a teenager, then emerged from his wrecked vehicle wild-eyed and waving his arms before he was subdued by police and bystanders. The driver, a 26-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, told officers he was hearing voices and expected to die, two law enforcement officials said. A fire department chief, Mark Foris, was at an unrelated elevator rescue when he saw the car speed by. The officials said Rojas told officers he had been hearing voices. In previous arrests, he told authorities he believed he was being harassed and followed, one of the law enforcement officials said.
