There's breaking news coming out of Toronto, Canada where a white van has reportedly powerful into a dozen pedestrians along the sidewalks causing severe panic and terror.

Early reports suggest that the possible terrorist attack happened near Yonge Street just south of Finch Avenue in Toronto, Canada early this afternoon.

Eyewitnesses describe a bloody scene of chaos and destruction as the van reached an extreme rate of speed and plowed into anywhere from eight to ten civilians as if they were styrofoam, sending them hurling into the air and crashing onto the pavement in agony.

“He started going down on the sidewalk and crumbling down people one by one,” one eyewitness, Alex Shaker said. “He just destroyed so many people’s lives. Every single thing that got in his way.”

Shaker also described the horror as the van hit someone pushing a baby stroller, although it remains to be seen as to the condition of that person.

The driver of the van appears to be a middle-aged white male, and law enforcement have taken him into custody, as video on social media displays.

It appears as if there are bodies covered with sheets, so there are possible fatalities, although there's no confirmation as to just what extent any injuries are as of this time.

The driver had initially fled the vehicle, dressed head to toe in black, and could be seen pointing what appears to be a gun at law enforcement before his arrest.

Another witness, Phil Zullo said that he witnessed police in the standoff with the suspect just prior to their apprehension of the attacker. He described seeing “shoes and hats flown everywhere” as a result of the van plowing into so many innocent lives.

“Get down!” the police officer can be heard screaming at the suspect.

“I have a gun in my pocket,” replied the attacker.

“Get down or you’ll be shot!” the officer says commandingly.
