At least 15 persons were wounded on Thursday night when two unidentified men walked into the Bombay Bhel restaurant in the Canadian city of Mississauga, Ontario.  

According to a tweet by the Peel Regional Paramedic Service, the blast went off in the Indian restaurant at about 10:30 pm local time. Fifteen persons were rushed to the hospital, three of them with critical injuries.

The two male suspects reportedly fled the scene after detonating the improvised explosive device even as no one or group has claimed responsibility for the attack and the motive for the attack was not known.

Sergeant Matt Bertram of the Mississauga Police told the media that the men entered the restaurant and set down what appeared to be a paint can or pail containing a bomb filled with ‘projectable objects’ which exploded after they fled.

The Police later posted a photograph on Twitter showing two people with dark zip-up hoodies walking into a building. One of them appeared to be carrying an object.

Peel Police said one of the suspects was in his mid-20s, stocky, wore dark blue jeans and a dark zip-up hoody pulled over his head, with a black cloth covering his face. The second was thin and wore faded blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a dark zip-up hoody over his head, also with his face covered.

The attack in Mississauga which is Canada’s sixth-largest city with a population of 700,000 people comes a month after a driver plowed his white Ryder rental van into a lunch-hour crowd in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15.
