Toronto cops nabbed the suspected driver who plowed into a group of people on a crowded city street Monday afternoon, leaving several injured and the grim sight of what appeared to be bodies covered by sheets.

Police confirmed to Fox News the arrest of the suspect, which came just minutes after news of the incident broke.

Why didn't they pump him full of lead?

Being that it's Canada, authorities probably wanted to hear the perp's grievances before resorting to deadly force.

witness said it was a cell phone in his hand.

[P.O.E.]

It’s a mystery /s

[Blue Jays]

These poor unfortunate innocents. The fatality count increases each time the news is reported. How tragic.

Alek Minassian is the name of the suspect.

That section of Toronto has a big Persian community. One of the main languages is Farsi.

Anti-capitalist, anti-American scumbag

[Sarah Barracuda]

Its the Ann Coulter motto, the longer it takes for the name the more likelyhood its a Muslim

[Erik Latranyi]

I think he is Armenian

maybe all this will finally push Quebec to secede...hope so..

They claim it is a very complicated investigation and if there are any witnesses they urge them to contact authorities immediately.

Huh? A guy runs down a crowded sidewalk in broad daylight in a rented van, is stopped and removed from said van, and it has become a complicated investigation?

[cherry]

don’t Persians have their own language?..not farsi?

[silentknight]

I wonder what the motive was?

[Crucial]

Too bad for Canada. They need to work on that.

[goldstategop]

Could be Iranian Muslim.

What? Hezbollah is the largest Shiite terrorist organization in the world.

Once again, blow his naughty bits clean off. An end to terrorism as we experience it.
