STROUD MP David Drew condemns the perpetrator of an attack in Finsbury Park, London, which has killed one man and injured a further 10 people.

A pedestrian died in the early hours of this morning after a 48-year-old man in a white van drove into worshippers near a mosque.

The attacker is reported to have yelled: "I’m going to kill all Muslims".

Mr Drew said: "This is another terrible event which comes on top of other recent tragedies.  

"Hatred has no place in the UK and deliberately targeting innocent individuals must be condemned totally and utterly."

Described by witnesses as a large white man, the van driver was detained by members of the public after the attack in Seven Sisters Road at 12.20am this morning.

The attacker struck as the area was busy with worshippers attending Ramadan night prayers at Finsbury Park mosque.

One witness described being surrounded by bodies in the wake of the attack outside the Muslim Welfare House, yards from the mosque.

The Metropolitan Police said the investigation of the incident is being carried out by the Counter Terrorism Command.

The force said in a statement: "The driver of the van – a man aged 48 – was found detained by members of public at the scene and then arrested by police in connection with the incident.

"He has been taken to hospital as a precaution and will be taken into custody once discharged.

"He will also be subject of a mental health assessment in due course.”
