http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41459237Edmonton: Five injured in Canada 'terror' incidents
Several locations in the Canadian city were cordoned off by police during the manhunt
Canadian police have confirmed they are investigating possible acts of terrorism after multiple incidents in Edmonton, Alberta, on Saturday night.
They said a police officer controlling traffic at a Canadian Football League game was struck by a car at high speed and then viciously attacked by a knife.
A man driving a van went on to hit at least four pedestrians and was arrested two hours later after a police chase.
Police said an Islamic State (IS) group flag was found in one of the vehicles.
Edmonton Police Service Chief Rod Knecht said the officer and his vehicle were rammed by a white Chevrolet Malibu at about 20:15 local time (04:15 GMT) outside Alberta's Commonwealth Stadium.
The driver then got out of his vehicle and stabbed the uniformed officer several times, before fleeing on foot. The officer was taken to hospital but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Chief Knecht said information about the vehicle's registered owner was broadcast to patrol officers.
Shortly before midnight, a man driving a U-Haul rental van was pulled over at a checkpoint after his name on documents was said to be "very similar" to the one police were searching for.
"The U-Haul truck then immediately fled the scene, and was pursued by police officers toward downtown Edmonton," the police chief said.
He said the truck "deliberately attempted to hit pedestrians" during the police chase.
The driver, a 30-year-old male, was arrested after his vehicle overturned in a police chase.

If even Muslim-loving and openly refugee-accepting Canada can't escape such attacks, then who can? The weapons of choice are vehicles and knives. Difficult to foil attacks like that. No complex planning or much money required to carry out.
"The final straw actually involved my mortal enemy vladimir, who you may or may not know is an insufferable, overposting asshat."
Canadians won't be scared by ISIS, they've been terrorized by MOOSIS for hundreds of years.
