A bomb has exploded at a suburban Indian restaurant in the Canadian city of Mississauga, injuring more than a dozen people.
Peel Regional Police said they received a call at just after 10.30pm local time (3.30am BST).
The Peel Regional Police said in a tweet they were looking for two unidentified men who entered the restaurant and "detonated an Improvised Explosive Device."
Police Sergeant Matt Bertram said later Friday that the two suspects had their faces covered to conceal their identity, prompting the public appeal for help catching the culprits.
"We have no indication to call it a hate crime or any kind of terrorism act," Bertram said.
"Two parties fled the scene immediately after the incident," the police said on Twitter, seeking the public's help in identifying and locating the suspects.
One of the men was described as being around 6-feet tall in his 20s, with a "stocky build" and "light skin." The second suspect was described as a man of similar height with "fair skin" and a "thin build."
Both were wearing hooded jackets and hats in an image released by police, taken from surveillance video at the restaurant.
"We're looking to speak to the individuals seen fleeing the area and looking for the public's assistance in identifying them,"
Peel Regional Police Constable Iryna Yashnyk told media gathered at the scene.
