Deadly Van Attack! 10 Dead & 15 Injured in Toronto (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Toronto police say ten people have died and 15 are injured after multiple pedestrians were struck by a white van in Toronto Monday afternoon.

“(At) approximately 1:30 this afternoon, Toronto Police received a number of calls from citizens indicating a vehicle was driving on Yonge Street and striking a number of pedestrians between Finch Avenue and Sheppard Avenue,” Deputy Police Chief Peter Yuen told reporters Monday afternoon.

“We can confirm for you … right now we have ten people that are dead. Fifteen that are injured.” (Updated victims numbers)

Yuen said a person is in custody and the investigation by Toronto police is ongoing.

Global News observed multiple bodies on Yonge Street covered with blankets.

In a statement from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, 10 patients were brought to the hospital. Two of the victims died at hospital, five are in critical condition, two are in serious condition and one is listed in fair condition. Officials said the hospital’s emergency room has been locked down as a precaution.

A video posted on Twitter appears to show a standoff between the male suspect and police just before he was arrested.

The suspect appears to come out of the white van with an object in his hands pointed towards a police officer in the street. In the video, the officer could be heard shouting “get down on the ground now.”

The officer walked toward the man, who dropped the object and turned around with his hands in the air. It is unclear what the object was that the suspect was holding. He was subsequently taken into custody.

Yuen said police are in the process of setting up two telephone lines in response to the attack. The first one will be for victims and their families. The second will be for witnesses.

      time to outlaw vans…all they do is kill people

      • Man

        driving a van has better regulations than a gun. To drive a van you need a licence unlike owning a gun

      We have to admire how Canadian Police Officers handle mentally deranged Criminals…a proud Canadian moment under such awful circumstances…my condolences to the families involved. I never understood why the Police would want to kill any Criminal. They should just Cap Em in the knees if they absolutely have to, instead of killing the Perpetrator….instilling the Motto”Crime doesn’t Pay”!

      Cheers, Uncle Hexy
