No one was injured but it was a startling scene for hundreds of people attending a Cirque du Soleil show at the Pacific Coliseum on Thursday night.
Vancouver police say that just after 8 p.m., a car was driven into the front doors of the arena, sending glass and debris flying.
The fast-moving car crashed into the Coliseum lobby at the start of the intermission for the show but police said that thanks to a concrete pillar in the way, the car didn’t make it beyond the doors.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim said in a post on X that he was incredibly grateful no one was hurt and thanked the police for quickly arresting a suspect.
A 30-year-old man was apprehended under the Mental Health Act and taken to the hospital, police said.
