Melbourne car attack: Two arrested after SUV rams Flinders Street crowd
Two people have been arrested after a car plowed into a crowd of Christmas shoppers in Melbourne, Australia, Thursday in what police are calling a "deliberate act."
More than a dozen people were injured including at least one young child when the car hit pedestrians outside Melbourne's iconic Flinders Street station just after 4.30 p.m. local time.
Victoria Police spokesman Comm. Russell Barrett told reporters it was too early in the investigation to determine the motivation. Police appealed for witnesses and advised people to stay clear of what they're calling a "crime scene."
Witnesses told CNN affiliate Seven Network they saw people being thrown meters into the air when the SUV drove into the crowd.
