Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for an end to Islamophobia in Canada following reports that a Muslim family may have been intentionally hit by a car in London, Ontario.

"Islamophobia has no place in any of our communities. This hate is insidious and despicable - and it must stop,” the Canadian premier wrote on Twitter on Monday.

Trudeau added that he was "horrified" by this news, and expressed solidarity with all Muslims in Canada.

A man accused of killing four members of a Canadian Muslim family after running them over in his pickup truck in London, Ontario, targeted them in an attack motivated by hate, Canadian police said on Monday, Reuters reported.
