NEW YORK -- The night before the formal sentencing of Sayfullo Saipov in the West Side bike path terror attack, survivors and victims' families returned to the scene of the heinous crime.

Wearing matching t-shirts, families, including many who traveled from Argentina and Belgium, walked on the bike path along the West Side Highway near Pier 40 on Tuesday night.

They placed flowers along the scene of the October 2017 truck attack.

Survivors are expected to address the court Wednesday.

Sapiov will be sentenced to life in prison for the attack that killed eight people and injured many others in the name of ISIS.
