Edmonton: Five injured in Canada 'terror' incidents
1 October 2017 US & Canada
Canadian police have confirmed they are investigating possible acts of terrorism after multiple incidents in Edmonton, Alberta, on Saturday night.
They said a police officer controlling traffic at a Canadian Football League game was struck by a car at high speed and then viciously attacked by a knife.
A man driving a van went on to hit at least four pedestrians and was arrested two hours later after a police chase.
Police said an Islamic State (IS) group flag was found in one of the vehicles.
Edmonton Police Service Chief Rod Knecht said the officer and his vehicle were rammed by a white Chevrolet Malibu at about 20:15 local time (04:15 GMT) outside Alberta's Commonwealth Stadium.
