One man has been confirmed dead and 10 others were injured when a van ploughed into a crowd of people near a London mosque just after midnight on Monday local time, as worshippers were leaving following Ramadan prayers.
One man was killed and another eight have been injured after a van drove into worshippers close to a mosque in north London.
"This was quite clearly an attack on Muslims who looked like they were probably Muslims and they were coming from a prayer meeting", said the Met police commissioner, Cressida Dick.

Witnesses reported seeing one man giving CPR to a victim in the street, while another man's head injury was treated with a makeshift dressing.

The attack outside the Muslim Welfare House comes on the heels of two recent attacks in London in which vehicles have also been used as weapons, both on bridges over the Thames River.
