Quebec stabbing: Two dead after attack by man in medieval clothes
BBC ^ | 11/01/2020

Quebec City Police Chief Robert Pigeon said it was believed that the attack was premeditated, adding that the suspect, from the Montreal suburbs, came to Quebec City with "the intention of doing the most damage possible".

"Dressed in medieval costume and armed with a Japanese sword, everything leads us to believe he chose his victims at random," Mr Pigeon added.

The suspect had spoken of conducting an attack "in a medical context" five years ago but was not known to police and did not have a criminal record, police said.

​First reports of the incident near the French-speaking city's national assembly came through shortly before 22:30 local time on Saturday.

The suspect was arrested near the Espace 400e business park.

Quebec's Le Soleil newspaper reported that he was lying on the ground, barefoot and hypothermic, when he was arrested. He surrendered to police without any resistance, it said.

Following his arrest, the suspect was taken to hospital for "evaluation".
