Police said they were investigating a mass casualty incident and had arrested a 30-year-old Vancouver man at the scene, but did not immediately give the number of fatalities or injured, saying they would have more information in the morning.
At a midnight press conference, police said that the suspect was “known” to them but did not elaborate. The man was initially taken into custody by people at the scene.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on X: “I am devastated to hear about the horrific events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver earlier this evening.”
One witness told CTV News he saw a black vehicle driving erratically in the area of the festival just before the crowd was struck.
“This is so horrific, I don’t even know what to say,“ CTV quoted Singh as saying. “I was just there, and I just imagine the faces of the kids that I saw smiling and dancing.”
The Vancouver Sun said thousands of people had been in the area.
“I got outside my food truck, I looked down the road and there’s just bodies everywhere,“ said Vardeh, as his voice broke. “He went through the whole block, he went straight down the middle.”
