Finsbury Park: What happened and what happens next?

"This was an attack on Muslims near their place of worship and like all terrorism, in whatever form, it shares the same fundamental goal: it seeks to drive us apart", she said.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is in custody.

Police were called within two minutes and arrived eight minutes later, killing the attackers in what officers said was an "unprecedented" volley of 46 bullets.

Police said that one man had been arrested at the scene and that no further suspects had been identified.

The attack on Muslims was "every bit as insidious and destructive to our values and our way of life" as the recent string of terror attacks apparently motivated by Islamist extremism, she added.

He has also spoken to London Mayor Sadiq Khan and said it was important to make sure the response was "sufficient and co-ordinated" and to provide "reassurance" to the community. "All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and the emergency services on the scene", May said in a statement.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has described the attack on a group of worshippers near a mosque in his own constituency as "terror on the streets". The collision happened just as many worshippers had broken their Ramadan fast, and finished evening prayers at Finsbury Park mosque - just around the corner from the scene of the incident.

The Finsbury Park Mosque was associated with extremist ideology for several years after the 9/11 attacks in the United States, but it was shut down and reorganized.

The assault comes on the heels of another attack at London Bridge, in which three men rammed a van into pedestrians and went on a stabbing spree at nearby bars and restaurants, killing eight people.

Corbyn's party colleague Diane Abbott said police need to "urgently review security for all mosques". Police said a man who was driving the auto has been arrested and taken to a hospital as a precaution.

British Prime Minister Theresa May vowed to fight terrorism and extremism "whoever is responsible", after a white van driver ploughed through a crowd of Muslim worshippers near a London mosque on Monday. "We saw that clearly after London Bridge", he said.

"While this appears to be an attack on a particular community, like the awful attacks in Manchester, Westminster and London Bridge, it is also an assault on all our shared values of tolerance, freedom and respect", Khan said. Early police caution about declaring the incident terrorist-related was interpreted by the community as discriminatory.

"Many of us attended events over the weekend to commemorate the murder of Jo Cox MP and to stand together against racist attacks". He explained to me that the man was very violent, aggressive, and he came over him until the police arrival - but there were other people helping him because the crowd was extremely angry, unhappy, so some people started acting violently too.

Britain's terrorist alert has been set at "severe" meaning an attack is highly likely.

Eight other injured people were taken to hospitals after the crash early Monday morning.

On 22 March, British-born Khalid Masood drove a auto into people on Westminster Bridge near the British parliament, before stabbing police Constable Keith Palmer. He was also killed by police.

On 22 May, Salman Abedi, a Manchester-born 22-year-old blew himself up at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.
