AT LEAST NINE people were killed when a man drove through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in the western Canadian city of Vancouver on Saturday evening, police said in an X post.
Police said they had arrested a 30-year-old Vancouver man, who was "known" to them, at the scene.
The suspect was initially chased down and held by festival-goers until police arrived, witnesses said. A number of people were also injured.
One witness told CTV News he saw a black vehicle driving erratically in the area of the festival just before the crowd was struck.
"At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism," Vancouver police said in an X post.
The incident happened shortly after 8 pm (0300 GMT) near East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street, where the Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party, celebrating a Philippine national hero, was taking place.
