SEVERAL people have reportedly been injured after a van hit “a crowd” of pedestrians near Finsbury Park.

There are a “number of casualties” and one person has been arrested, police said.

Armed cops swooped on the scene at Seven Sisters Road in North London at 12.20am and the police helicopter was seen circling overhead.

Photos posted on social media showed a huge police response with dozens of police cars and riot vans pictured within a cordon.

I just read a tweet that said it is a white guy who was driving drunk. Most tweets are about a white TERRIORIST who targeted innocent Muslims.

Don't know if it was a Bernie supporter. Does anyone know if the target really was the mosque or if the incident just happen to occur near a mosque?Muslim supporters are hanging this guy for terrorism.

From listening to Sky News, it very apparently was an attack on Muslims leaving the Mosque. Revenge??

Sounds like it. Perhaps the Brits are just now starting to ‘engage’ the enemy...

The fact that the van was rented makes Muslim on Muslim perhaps more likely. Thanks for the link.
