Finsbury Park 'terrorist attack': One killed, eight injured as van hits worshippers at London mosque
The attack came shortly after worshippers had been attending evening prayers at the Muslim Welfare House.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing bystanders wrestle the suspect to the ground and pin him down until officers arrived.
Abdulrahman Saleh Alamoudi said he was among a group of people helping an elderly worshipper who had fallen down, perhaps because of the heat, when the van swerved towards them.
He told BuzzFeed News: "This big van just came and went all over us. Luckily I managed to escape. And then the guy came out of his van and I got him.
"He was screaming, he was saying, 'I'm going to kill all Muslims, I'm going to kill all Muslims'. He was throwing punches."
Another eyewitness speaking to LBC said the van had hit people on the pavement, but had not collided with a building. "It looked like he had lost control of the van or something," he said.
Pictures posted on social media show more than a dozen emergency vehicles near the UKCG Help Centre at the junction of Seven Sisters Road and the A503 Tollington Road.
