A bomb has exploded at a restaurant in Toronto, Canada, at an Indian restaurant injuring 15 people. Three of the victims are said to be in a critical condition following the blast which happened at 10.30pm local time.
Police have issued a picture of two men they are searching for following the explosion in the Mississauga area of the city. They described the bomb as being an improvised explosive device and said the two men fled the scene immediately after it went off. The Peel Regional Paramedic Service tweeted that three people suffered ‘critical blast injuries’.
The area around the restaurant was swiftly evacuated but it is not known how many people were dining there at the time. One of the men being hunted by police has been described as being 5’10” to 6′ tall, stocky and in his mid-20s.
He was wearing dark blue jeans, a dark zip-up hoodie pulled over his head, a baseball cap with a light-grey peak. His face was covered by a black cloth. The second man had fair skin, was 5’9″ to 5’10 tall, thin, had faded blue jeans and a dark hoodie over his head. He was wearing a grey t-shirt and dark shoes. The blast comes a month after a driver crashed his white Ryder rental van into a lunch-hour crowd in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15.
