Police have identified the suspect in a deadly van attack in Toronto as Alek Minassian, a 25-year-old man from Richmond Hill, Ont., a suburb north of the city.

Ten people were killed and 15 injured on Monday afternoon after a rented white Ryder van jumped a curb and plowed into pedestrians along an approximately one-kilometre-long stretch of Toronto's busy Yonge Street.

Cellphone video posted to social media on Monday afternoon shows a man stepping out of a white van with a damaged front end that is stopped on the sidewalk. He steps into the line of fire a police officer who has his weapon drawn and can be heard yelling, "Kill me" and gesturing at the officer to shoot him.

Saunders said Monday night that no gun was found on the male driver at the time of his arrest. He said Minassian was not previously known to Toronto police.

In the video, he gesture several times as if he's drawing a weapon from his pocket. Looks like he was hoping for suicide by cop, but the Toronto police officer wouldn't oblige.

Unfortunately, the pedestrian filmed the whole thing in portrait instead of landscape.

1. Suicide by cop works better in the states

2. I hears on MSNBC earkier that the terrorists

aren't considered successful unless they are shot and killed after their work is done. I guess this guy wasn't able to get the officer to shoot him. He should've carried his plan out in the US.
