Man dressed in medieval clothing kills at least two in Quebec, Canada

A man dressed in medieval clothing attacked multiple victims with what police called a “knife” in Quebec on Saturday night local time, killing at least two.

Canadian city police reported the incident on Twitter shortly before midnight and urged residents to remain inside while the suspect remains at large, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

The incident took place near Parliament Hill, near the National Assembly, police said.

According to Canada’s CTV News, five victims were taken to a local hospital, but there was no information on their conditions.

Authorities also did not immediately release details about the two people who died or say if there were any additional victims.

“It remains to be determined, but these are serious attacks,” police spokesman Etienne Doyon told the station.

A man in his 20s was arrested shortly before 1 a.m. local time, officers said.

Reporters at the scene have tweeted photos of a police command post outside the Quebec Parliament building.
