Edmonton police are investigating a suspected terror attack.
Police Chief Rod Knecht says a 30-year-old suspect is in custody and believe he acted alone.
Knecht says an officer was stabbed after the Edmonton Eskimos football game last night and at least four pedestrians were hit with a U-Haul cube van.
The officer is expected to recover and only injuries are reported in the incident.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has issued a statement on the overnight attack, stressing violent extremism won't win and Canadians stand with those injured in Edmonton.
“The Government of Canada and Canadians stand with the people of Edmonton after the terrorist attack on Saturday that sent an Edmonton Police Service officer to hospital and injured a number of innocent people who were out to cheer on their football team and to enjoy an evening in their city," says Trudeau in the public statement. "I am deeply concerned and outraged by this tragedy."
Knecht adds a flag of the so-called Islamic State was found in the car that hit the officer.
