The Canadian police had announced, earlier, at dawn on Sunday, that "a number of victims" fell in an attack with a knife, noting that a suspect had been arrested in the incident that took place in Quebec City, near the provincial legislature on "Halloween".

The police called on citizens to stay in their homes, before announcing the arrest of a suspect.

The police also announced that 5 injured people had been transferred, but they did not disclose at the time details about their injuries or the motives for the attack.

Quebec police announced that they had arrested a man suspected of causing "a number of victims with a white weapon" in the Canadian city.

The police said in a tweet on "Twitter": "Before one o'clock, the Quebec City Police Department arrested a suspect," calling on the city's residents to "stay inside and lock the doors" because "an investigation is still ongoing."
