Several pedestrians were injured after being hit by a van near a mosque in London on Sunday night, reported The Independent.
Witnesses said the vehicle veered off the road into worshippers leaving Finsbury Park Mosque shortly after midnight local time.
Footage showed injured people motionless on the pavement as angry crowds surrounded a white man believed to be the driver.
It is unclear whether the collision was deliberate.
“Officers are on the scene with other emergency services,” said a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police, adding, “There are a number of casualties being worked on at the scene. There has been one person arrested.”
Police did not confirm claims that Muslims leaving the mosque after Ramadan prayers were targeted.
The London Ambulance Service said it had sent a number of resources to the scene but could not immediately be reached to confirm details regarding the number of casualties or their condition.
The incident comes just two weeks following a terrorist attack in London, in which three terrorists drove into passengers with a van on the London Bridge, then proceeded to stab people at the nearby Borough Market, where they were eliminated by security forces.
