A suspect of Afghan descent was detained for driving a car into a busy intersection in Australia's second-largest city Melbourne on Thursday afternoon in a “deliberate act”, leaving several people in a critical condition, Agence France-Presse reported police saying.
Reports say that the 32-year-old suspect has history of drug use and mental health issues.
“We believe based on what we have seen that it is a deliberate act. The motivations are unknown,” Victoria Police's Commander Russell Barrett told AFP reporters in Melbourne.
Australian media reported up to 19 people have been injured so far, with 12 taken to hospitals, including a pre-school aged child in serious condition with head injuries, according to the Associated Press.
Police have arrested the driver of the white SUV, which crashed into a cable car stop, but were not able to immediately confirm the cause of the incident or whether it was terrorism-related.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
