The driver of a car which plowed into Christmas shoppers in Melbourne, Australia had a history of drug use and mental health issues, police said, CNN reported.
Acting chief commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton told reporters there is no "evidence or any intelligence to indicate a connection with terrorism" at this time, nor is there any evidence to indicate an ongoing threat.
Eighteen people were injured, including at least one young child, when the car hit pedestrians outside Melbourne's iconic Flinders Street station just after 4.40 p.m. local time.
