​Alek Minassian, the man accused in a deadly van attack in Toronto's North York neighbourhood in April, was charged with three additional counts of attempted murder in court on Thursday morning, CBC reported.

The 25-year-old is now charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder. 

Minassian was arrested on April 23, minutes after a white van plowed into pedestrians as it sped southbound along a busy sidewalk on Yonge Street from Finch Avenue toward Sheppard Avenue.
