Counterterrorism police are investigating a major incident in the Finsbury Park area of north London after a van hit pedestrians leaving a number of casualties…
A man, believed to be the driver of the vehicle, has been arrested, the Metropolitan police said.
The scene of the crash is close to two mosques and the Muslim Council of Britain has reported that worshippers are among the casualties.
A tweet from the MCB said: “We have been informed that a van has run over worshippers as they left #finsburyparkmosque.”
Casualties and motives are as yet unknown, although counter-terrorism detectives have been dispatched.
CNN:
Imam Mohammed Mahmoud, of the Muslim Welfare House, has been hailed a hero for stepping in to protect the suspected attacker, a 48-year-old man, telling the furious mob: "Do not touch him."

It does appear to talking heads that there have been some deaths, but so much is unknown at this time, that all we can do is hope for the best.
