Police confirmed to Fox News the arrest of the suspect, which came just minutes after news of the incident broke. "The van involved in multiple pedestrians stuck in the Yonge and Finch area of Toronto has been located and the driver arrested," Toronto police tweeted. Cops had initially said eight to 10 people were hit near Yonge Street and Finch Avenue just before 1:30 p.m. A nearby hospital tweeted that it took in seven patients. Alex Shaker, who witnessed the incident, said the van was speeding down the street before it mounted the curb and plowed into people. "This is a time when this community should come together," Toronto Mayor John Tory said at an afternoon press conference.
