Toronto van: Ten dead and 15 injured as pedestrians are hit

Ten people have been killed and 15 others injured after a man drove a van into pedestrians in Toronto.
 
The suspect has been named by police as 25 year old Alek Minassian.

Bystander videos appeared to show the driver pointing an object to officers, who could be heard shouting at him to get down. 

The man was then detained without any shots being fired.

Toronto Deputy Police Chief Peter Yuen says the incident appeared to be deliberate but the motive is still unknown.

He said the accused, from the Toronto suburb of Richmond Hill, is not previously known to the police.
