Two More Islamic Pieces of Shit in Melbourne - Get Them Out!

'It was a deliberate act': Police arrest two men after they 'drove a car into Christmas rush hour crowds' outside Melbourne's Flinders Street Station - injuring 14 people and 'sending bodies flying'

More than a dozen pedestrians, including a toddler, have been injured after a car 'deliberately' ploughed into rush hour crowds amid chaotic scenes in the heart of Melbourne.

The drama unfolded as the white Suzuki SUV crashed into the group of panicked commuters and shoppers at the corner of Melbourne's busy Elizabeth Street and Flinders Street at 4.41pm on Thursday.

 14 people, one in a serious condition, were taken to hospital including a pre-school aged child with serious head injuries where several are critical.

It is unknown if this is a terror related incident although police believe it was a deliberate act.

Two men in the vehicle, who were driving the car with green P plates displayed, have been arrested and are in police custody.

'At this stage we believe it is a deliberate act, however we do not know the motivation,' Victoria Police said.

Lachlan Read, 20, told The Herald Sun the whole rampage lasted about 15 seconds.

'He has gone straight through the red light at pace and it was bang, bang, bang. It was just one after the other,' Mr Read said.
