Multiple people are being treated for injuries after two people detonated an improvised explosive device inside a restaurant in Ontario, Canada, according to police.

Fifteen patients were transported from the scene of the incident, which took place on Thursday night local time, a police source told CNBC. Three people taken to trauma centers have "critical blast injuries," according to a twitter post from Peel Paramedics.

Two suspects fled the scene immediately after the explosion, police said.

The incident took place at Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga, according to the Peel Paramedics.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the explosion, but the police source told CNBC that there was no indication of a terrorism link at this time.

Emergency crews responded to the scene around 10:30 p.m., and police blocked off the area.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - Fifteen people were injured Thursday night when an explosion police say was caused by an "improvised explosive device" ripped through a restaurant in Mississauga. Ont.

Peel Region police say "two suspects attended the scene," detonated the devices and fled the scene.

Peel Region paramedic Joe Korstanje said three people suffered critical injuries. "We transported three of them to trauma centres in what I would say is critical condition just from blast injuries," he said. Korstanje said the remaining 12 victims suffered what he described as minor and superficial injuries.

Police said they received a call about the explosion in the plaza near Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue just after 10:30 p.m. and the plaza remained sealed off early Friday.

Andre Larrivee, who lives in a nearby condo, says he was watching television and heard a loud explosion. "It was really loud," he said, comparing the noise to an electric generator that had exploded at a nearby construction site recently.

Other people who were shopping in neighbouring stores - and waiting for their vehicles to be released from behind the police tape - also reported hearing a loud explosion.
