Ms Dick said the force is now working with the London Fire Brigade and independent expert building examiners as part of the wider ongoing inquiry.

The other guest on the show, Richard Millet, denounced the terror attack on the London mosque as "absolutely horrific" and obviously a terrorist attack.

London police say a man was subdued with a stun gun and arrested early Wednesday after he was reported to be attacking people at the Regents Park Mosque in north London. The larger Finsbury Park Mosque, which was once associated with several extremist preachers before it was shut down and reformed, is located nearby.

"Immediately after the attack people were calm and they were praying for the victims of the attack". Makram Ali, 51, died at the scene in his daughter's arms.

The Chief of Police, London, Cressida Dick, said that the incident was clearly an attack on Muslims and promised to increase police presence during the holy month of Ramadan around mosques around the city.

When asked if the man has been spoken to by police, the spokesman said that was all the information he had.

"In Chelmsford we have a very good relationship with the police and throughout this month they have been in contact with us to ensure the com - munity feels safe and reassured". "I've seen him walking in the street but never spoken to him". Then he was saying, "Kill me, kill me".

Runaway bus clips 10 cars before crashing into church
A man changing a tire was struck by the bus and suffered injuries before being taken to the hospital and is expected to be OK. Timmes said he saw the man had a bloody nose and his friends were calling an ambulance before he heard a second crash.

Darren Osborne, a 47-year-old man under arrest on terror charges for running over worshippers outside a mosque in London, has been described by his mother as someone with problems but "not a terrorist". He said he fears for the lives of his family members and infant daughter in the wake of such Islamophobic incidents.

One elderly man, who had collapsed moments before the van appeared, was pronounced dead at the scene, although police have not yet confirmed whether he died as a result of the attack. In a statement given to local media on behalf of his family, his nephew Ellis Osborne said: "We are massively shocked; it's unbelievable, it still hasn't really sunk in". Osborne's sister, Nicola, said her brother had been "troubled for a long time".

The incident is not being treated as terrorism related at this time. They also complained that a recent spike in attacks against Muslims has garnered little attention. He was grabbed at the scene by locals and pinned down until police arrived.

"He came in here and he was just staring before he started shouting", he said. "It's a awful shock", she said.

But on Saturday, she said Osborne approached her 12-year-old son and called him "inbred".

Mr Corbyn said he was proud to represent Islington in all its faiths, diversity and differences as it makes us "more united than anybody could ever do (in trying) to divide us".
