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.

Yeah, ole mayor Kahn I think his name is. He wants to outlaw and band all knives and sharp pointed objects!!! How about outlawing the stinking muzzie terrorists. That would be better. But, we know THAT will never happen. I cannot wait for the Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ. I want to see all these radical homo news people trying to buddy up to the terrorists. There are going to be millions of goodie two shoes who all supported the murdering muzzies will get their throats cut because they think they will all be pals. Their best chance is to hit the ole prayer rug and face towards Mecca. That is their ONLY chance to survive the coming onslaught of the muzzies.

I think that is the very definition of a “global city” nowadays.

“Our thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible incident at Yonge and Finch in Toronto,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted. “Thank you to the first responders working at the scene – we're monitoring the situation closely.”

It wasn't a shooting, so I'm glad to know we're allowed to send our thoughts and prayers to the victims.

Did some Google street view.
The van is pulled over on Poyntz Ave..off of Yonge just south of Sheppard Ave.
Appears to be a money exchanger....
I'd guess unrelated to what happened.

Names that end in -ian are usually Armenian (Christian), but can also be Persian/Iranian.

I was up in Toronto a few years ago and surprised how many muslims I saw. Quebec last year, a lot there too.

Thanks to Trudeau , 50 years from now, every church in quebec will be a mosque, every statue turned over and destroyed. A virtual no go zone. See it now before its goes down the Trudeau crapper.

I saw the video. He has a shaved head, and I think he sounds middle eastern. Seems to have an accent. Young guy.

My last visit to Toronto , I was on that street to catch the subway. We were on the same block where this occurred.

A facebook page for Alek Minasian (news report spelling Alek Minnasian) says he lives in Yerevan, Armenia ... and is from Allepo Syria. Trudeau let a bunch of ISIS militants from Syria in Canada.

Sounds Armenian. Most are very westernized. This guy? Who knows. Could have been radicalized a few minutes before the act, lol.

The Toronto Police showed remarkable restraint while arresting the murderous van driver. Had this been NYC, the NYPD would have shot him three times, missing 67.

No, he just pretended to, in a half-hearted attempt at martyrdom, I assume.

Yes, I was in Toronto a few years ago. I saw the plague of Islam has infected it.

Somebody went nuts with a stock car now? Barked the victim’s shins, did they? Well, what were pedestrians doing on the race track?

Thanks to Turd-owe’s ‘open doors’ policy. I am sincerely hoping that the perp’s DOES, in fact, come from Syria, and is a convert to mohamhead’s cult. (Perdition Be Upon Him) THAT would surely sink Dustbin’s popularity even more. The Conservatives, who lead the polls, might be able to get a majority in the next election.
