A man was shot dead by police in Canada after he rammed two members of the Canadian Armed Forces soldiers with his car late on Monday morning.
The incident took place in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a small city southeast of Montreal.
The 25-year-old man, identified as Martin Couture-Rouleau, allegedly ran over the soldiers as they were walking in a parking lot near a strip mall.
Following the hit and run, police chased the man for a few kilometres before he lost control of his vehicle, which overturned into a ditch, Reuters reported.
The driver climbed out of the vehicle and confronted the police, who shot him. The man later died at the hospital, the National post said.
The knife the man was allegedly holding when he confronted the officers was found next to the car.
One of the soldiers is now in hospital with life-threatening injuries, while the other soldier suffered minor injuries.
According to the Global Mail, Couture-Rouleau, a convert to Islam who was known to authorities who were concerned he had become radicalized.
The incident is now being investigated as a terror attack.
The attack happened in the eve of six Canadian fighter jets departing for Iraq to participate to the U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State.
