警方证实,温哥华一场节日庆典上,一辆汽车冲撞人群,造成至少11人死亡。 加拿大总理马克·卡尼表示,事件发生在当地时间周六约20:14,造成20多人受伤。 一名30岁的男性嫌疑人已被拘留,温哥华警察局表示“确信这起事件不是恐怖主义行为”。目前,事件仍在调查中。 警方表示,这名嫌疑人在温哥华南部东43大道和弗雷泽街交叉口举行的拉普拉普节(该节日庆祝菲律宾文化)上驾车冲撞行人。 温哥华警察局代理局长史蒂夫·拉伊在新闻发布会上表示,事件涉及一辆车和一名嫌疑人。马克·卡尼表示,警方称之为“汽车冲撞袭击”。 在节日期间售卖面包的餐车老板约塞布·瓦尔德告诉BBC国际部,袭击就发生在他的面包车前。 他说,“这家伙杀了我的几个顾客。当时有人在等着买面包,结果被撞击了。” 瓦尔德先生补充道:“我走出餐车,看到餐车底下躺着尸体,丈夫们哭喊着妻子或孩子……太可怕了。” 社交媒体上发布的未经证实的视频显示,现场停满了警车、救护车和消防车,伤者倒在地上。 警方最初称事件中有9人死亡,但在周日上午的更新中,数字被修正为11人。

At least 11 people have been killed after a car was driven into a crowd at a festival in Vancouver, police have confirmed.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said more than 20 people were injured in the incident, which occurred at approximately 20:14 local time on Saturday (03:14 GMT on Sunday).

A 30-year-old male suspect is in custody and the Vancouver Police Department said it was “confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism”. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Police said the suspect had driven into pedestrians at the annual Lapu Lapu festival, which celebrates Filipino culture, at East 43rd Avenue and Fraser in the south of the city.

Steve Rai, Vancouver Police’s interim chief, told a news conference that there had been one vehicle and one suspect involved in the incident. Mark Carney said police were calling it a “car-ramming attack”.

The owner of a food truck selling bao buns at the festival, Yoseb Vardeh, told the BBC World Service that the attack happened right in front of his van.

“This guy, he killed some of my customers,” he said. “There was people waiting for their buns that got hit.”

Mr Vardeh added: “I stepped outside of my food truck and I just saw bodies underneath people’s food trucks, husbands crying out for their wives or their kids… it was just horrible.”

Unverified footage posted on social media showed a number of police cars, ambulances and fire engines at the scene, with injured people lying on the ground.

Police initially said nine people were killed in the incident, but that was revised up to 11 during an update on Sunday morning.
