Footage showed New Orleans crowds enjoying New Year’s Eve celebrations before an attack that left at least 14 people dead and dozens injured.

A truck ploughed into a crowd of revellers on Bourbon Street in what the FBI is investigating as an “act of terrorism.”

The FBI identified the suspect — who was killed after engaging in a shootout with police officers — as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a US-born citizen from Texas.

Footage shows a side-by-side comparison of New Year’s celebrations followed by cordoned-off streets as police investigated the attack.
