A car struck at least a dozen pedestrians outside Melbourne's iconic Flinders Street station on Thursday afternoon, shutting down the center of Australia's second-largest city.
Paramedics have taken 13 people to nearby hospitals. Two others are being treated at the scene. One of the injured was a pre-school age child who was taken to hospital with a head injury, and is in a serious condition.
In a statement, Victoria Police said they had arrested the driver of the vehicle after it collided with "a number of pedestrians" just after 4.30 p.m. local time between Elizabeth and Swanston streets. A second man was arrested in relation to the collision, said police, as they appealed for witnesses and advised people to stay clear of what they're calling a "crime scene."

    Jim Stoupas, owner of the Walkers Donut shop on Elizabeth Street, told CNN he saw an SUV going about 60 miles an hour (100 kph) down Flinders Street.
    He said: "It just plowed into the crowds. We heard this noise and we looked up then we just heard bang, bang, bang and people flying everywhere. We had a lot of customers in our shop and they were traumatized."

    Stoupas said police had arrived almost immediately and many officers were still at the scene. The incident comes almost one year after six people were killed when a car plowed into pedestrians along Melbourne's Bourke Street Mall in January, just a few streets north of Flinders Street station.

    U.S. Deports Migrants To South Sudan Despite Fears Of Torture And Violence

      The Trump administration deported eight migrants from Djibouti to South Sudan on Friday, following a series of fast-moving legal battles and despite warnings from their attorneys that they face the risk of torture, imprisonment, or even death. The deportation went ahead after a federal judge in Massachusetts denied an emergency request by the migrants' lawyers to block their removal. U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy wrote that a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the deportations to proceed was “binding” and that the legal arguments before him were “substantially similar” to those already decided. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security praised the decision, stating on social media, “Law and order prevails,” and described the migrants as “barbaric criminals.” The administration had previously blamed “activist judges” for delays in carrying out the deportations. Legal Challenges and Human Rights Concerns The eight migrants, detained in Djibouti for weeks, i...
