Two people have been killed and five more seriously injured after a man dressed in 'samurai garb' and armed with a sword went on a stabbing spree in Quebec City.
The attack occurred late on Saturday night near the provincial parliament building in the capital of the French-speaking Canadian province, and a suspect was taken into custody after a citywide manhunt.
At least two people died in the attack, police confirmed. Five others were rushed to nearby hospitals in serious condition.
Police described the attacker as wearing 'medieval clothes' and Radio-Canada reported that he was dressed as a samurai.
The attack occurred on Halloween, when such costumes would not necessarily raise alarm.
