A terrorist driving a van mowed down Muslims Sunday night in Finsbury Park in London.
The motorist mowed down Muslims leaving mosque after Sunday prayer.
The vehicle drove into a group of what is believed to be Muslims as the attack occurred outside of a mosque just after prayers. Only one individual is under arrest at this time and police and ambulances are on the scene.

Earlier this month, a van veered into pedestrians on London Bridge, setting off vehicle and knife attacks that killed eight people and wounded many others on the bridge and in the nearby Borough Market area. Three Muslim extremists who carried out the attack were killed by police.
