The New York Police Department will roll out 65 massive 20-ton sanitation trucks, weighted with an extra 15 tons of sand, to surround the iconic New Year"s Eve celebration in Times Square.
The security measure is meant to stop deadly truck-driving attacks into crowds like those in Germany and France.
Times Square will be heavily policed by 7,000 officers, specially armed counterterrorism units and bomb-sniffing dogs, officials said Thursday.
The placement of the trucks, along with 100 patrol cars, at intersections surrounding Times Square adds even more protection against potential attacks.
