>> the last thing they save, we're here for worshipping and not for anything else. and we have eve got work to do. >> the atmosphere this morning is one of some anger. they're not necessarily pleased with the way it's being covered or the way politicians are talking about this. what are your thoughts. >> we haven't seen nothing. we haven't seen in -- we haven't seen police with a gun. they'll come with the gun because it's a terror act. >> i'm saying, there was a different response to this as there have been to others. >> yeah. >> i can scratch something to the response. >> but you're a hero today, do you feel like a hero? >> i feel like i did what i could, the best to raise him from the dead and fran dave at the same time. >> if this guy was still alive. he's driven, intentionally, into

we're moving trucks in and out of the corner in the very beginning referring people to around the area. right now they're trying to figure out what exactly happened. one of the key things is that they were able to capture this man alive, the driver, they'll be able to interrogate him and find out exactly what happened. and also speaking to eyewitnesss they said that there were other people involved. now, the police haven't said anything about that.

some yntss said there were two people in the van, others skad there were three. we're heaping to zbet -- so we're hoping to get more clarification about this when this press conference takes place. still a lot of questions in these wake. >> and here across the issues why they haven't called it yet in order for the police to do that. they've got a need to have sympathiers from the entire gags. right in order to take it to their level. what are we looking for here? >> that's right. and luckily, for them, they were able to capture it so they will be able to find out what the motive is behind that and also what is mental state. i'll air doer it. they keep saying this was a terror attack. now we're hearing that this is a suspected terrorist attack. although we heard them saying, you know, he's calling this an aterrorist attack. that's going to be the fwirs question that's asked to --

first thing we hear from the police spokesman what this person attack you. she's had mental issues over us. a lot of people have been saying terrorist attack. heads up to the police. they're the ones who determined what exactly happened and how that's unfolded. mess. quick response, presumably, when it happened. it was held out for ten minutes. police were there within ten minutes. >> there -- that's one thing we've heard from different witnesses they said that they were able to get them -- the detien knee was more than the violent to get thenl acting violencely towards that and then they said they called the police, some people called and said the police didn't show up in time. one witness said they actually flagged down a police officer who wasn't responding on the scene to come and help them with it. you can see in that video, a

very intense situation and a lot of angry people around this man. this 48-year-old man who has at least are trying to put him in the police van. talking to some of the witnesses they say they were trying to keep the scene visible once the people were on the scene to take control of it. a intense climate valley. a lot of people believing that they weren't doing enough but protecting their family. antimuslim rhetoric that they've been hearing. >> one of the early statements that he got from them was about giving more resources to protect people, marquee, they're all more e bait i want her to stay. >> this comes with a police officer that's already stretched and they've been dealing with a number of attacks. and so they had many places where nay eve had to beef up security, which means deafing up

the security will take considerable resources. it's something that the community has been demanding, base hill that they were vulnerable and they want these resources. he said, how do you move forward? >> you need to be more individual lentd. go out in pairs. this is a community, though, that while we did see a lot solidarity today within the community at the furs community. there's a lot of fear about what would happen with a lot of the harsh rhetoric that we're seeing. ian, we'll go straight back to ian. we'll have more on this and let it long walk. they've mrnganaged to reach tha point. this 48-year-old man. meanwhile more testimony coming in all the time from people who witnessed the attack, were

involved with it or just overlooked it. have a listen to this? let's go to the press conference, i'm told that it's about to start. we're waiting for him to come out. there he is about to speak. >> good morning ladies and gentlemen. sadly londoners are waking up to the news of another gentleman that has left a number of people seriously injured. the attack unfolded once the man was receiving first aid abdomen sadly that man has died. many causatively between his death and the attack will fought terrorizely investigation. it is too late to say that was

going to be the extent of it. >> our folks are effected by the jam time and their family, friends and the wort, community. no matter what the motivation for this tactic proves to be. wefr keeping an open mind. this is being treated as a terrorist attack and it they're investigating it. this was an attack on london and all of london. we should all start together with weakings. what does that say about you. >> 21 minutes past midnight this morning, police received a number of calls following a van collided with pedestrians. officers were in the median vicinity. as they're responding to a screen. additional officers were on the scene within ten minutes. one man, as i've said, was her name at the scene.

and all the victims were from the muslim committee. i'd like to praise the police officers immediate respond you gave treatment to the sick. but also very much those members of the public you assisted before and after this incident. also at the scene, detained by members of that community, was the man expected of jeremy driving during that attack. he has been arrested of attempted murder. i would like to thank those people who helped in detaining the man and worked to get him into quality. they were straight to the circumstances. it's commendable. this investigation is on going and we're working fast to have the full details of how it worked into place. >> at this early stage, no other suspects midnight. that's all reported to police.

there were no reports of anybody having suffered any knife injury. the van used has been examined but nothing that will pose a risk to the public. extra policing get destroyed in order to reassure communities, especially those at this very sensitive. i will urge everyone to remain calm and remain vigilant. i ask the public with any information about this incident or anything that causes concern or suspicious, to call. 800,719-321. as of what i can as we're learning more information about it, i will. this has been an incredibly challenging time for london and emergency services are straked.

that's people allow people -- we have, without harvest to protect them. there's a time once again for london to stand together to face her. thank you. i can take a couple of questions. >> this is going to be good. >> given what was -- what exactly, is that a look against mosque. hopefully it will last two months. >> [ inaudible question ] >> i think there there's been an awful lot of images put out by the media. it seems to me at the time he was very quickly giving it to the police and put into custody, i think, as i've said commendable by members of the community. must have been incredibly shaken and incredibly scared and incredibly angry. >> i like to thank them and it means london together to protect

themselves and they'll do so in a way that doesn't feed into terrorist and nonfreedom type activities. >> don't think. it's too early to say. and we'll be updating later on the condition of the casualties. i do know at least two are very serious. our thoughts goes out to the family fraends. you must be very ashamed at this time. >> going to talk to the perpetrator and been able to interrogate him. what are you hearing? >> that will be a priority when you investigate. he asked me for my full custody receiver. >> you think he's a couple of high wind to say that they hit the van running away after the attack took place. you said there's one perpetrator so far and not sure about others responding to that in the

report. >> let me very clear, that was obviously a very keen -- right at the stop of his investigation. from what we're seeing and from what witnesses are reporting to us, there was nobody else in the van. it appears that this time that this attacker -- alonged unit. >> that was not society that we are not investigating the carry over or how you're -- thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. thank you. well, that's it from the police. actually, they did what most people here, wanted to deliver. that was a clear announcement. this was a terror attack. they're keeping an open mind. they're treating it as a terrorist attack. i think that eefs going to help you out here in the park where there's a lot of concern it's being treated at the level the others have been treated at.

can't speak to the suspect here in, they charged with murder, not any terror related incidents and that's the situation that they're facing. they don't want to call it. the fact that they're treating this as a terrorist attack. he's being charged with attempted murder. the one thing they were unsure about was the death. initially, say after a month she had gained one pound. it was an elderly man trying to determine her. >> if he i asked him, if they're able to speak and start interrogating the suspect behind us. they said they haven't been able to do so, it is one of their top priorities. another question about something we've been hearing about all morning, other perpetrators. anyone else in the van that could have helped carry out this attack.

they said they haven't heard of anyone else and spoken to any witnesses who described other people inside that van, but they said it's something to definitely look into. it's something of a major concern of theirs. but the one thing they also emphasize is that they're going to be deploying virge yule around london in the meantime, loning -- >> here at moose k sites to help prevent herself something like this from happening. in terms of the comment you made as well that urge the people to stay calm, people marking ramadan in london. as a result pointed that way. what did you understand from that. he's trying to get into fears sm hue. how do you expect her to field that only. we were talking to people witnesses forgot they expressed

would you say fair. the fear that they worked one man and he's going to withhold someone else and all risky alert. the police are saying, go out and be alert. if you see something and report it. this is similar after attacks in the past here just staying vigilant. also, to go on with your lives remain calm. this is affordable incident. do not let it define what is happening right now to continue to go on and live your life, but, again, the individual levi. that's important. people need to keep an -- what has he praised the response time by the police. they said they received the phone call just shortly after midnight. they said that the police were in the area, that they were able to respond quickly. they were able to take the suspect to his hardy happy authorities by locals in the area and they're able to take

him away. he was that sent to a hospital for a check before being heading over to police. this is the city, though, that has had a large security presence, especially after the recent attacks and so we praise that quick response time by the police to this latest incident, max? where do we go from here? we're waiting fwrt suspect to be interviewed and that's where we'll get the interview. he asked him what he's going to do to the same. he can't fire you. that is crucial now. you don't -- you know, in the recent past attacks you didn't get someone you can attacker or is sm one, suspect, really, who they can detain or question later. they're asking where are you spending night. police say they haven't been able to start the process. i hope it's as soon as possible. then they'll start to get it

behind. what is the motive behind this attack. one is the estate of his health and is this someone who had mental issues. questions that they're going to need to answer. right now they said they're treating it as a terrorist attack. the terrorism task force that is investigating it. we've heard from several politicians that they believe it's a suspected terrorist attack, as well as from london's mayor saying this was a terrorist attack, mat. >> thank you. actually behind me and as he was speaking, some sort of detainment going on. it just really expresses the tension here right now. let's speak to steve moore, he is sitting in with the lori that wereness. you noticed this, i don't know what quarters it went facing the british authorities.

>> well, i think the categorization is going to be pretty straightforward. this was an incident of domestic terrorism that was tf result of one person's desire for vindication. >> when they consider what is terrible and what's not terror, what does define it because everyone here feels very -- deliberately driven into a crowd. they knew he was going to be in that crowd. do we then need to know it was taunting distance to make terror attack, how does that work? >> you would need to know that the personalized targeting moved particularly, because at least in the united states after look at the lost. i bet they're very similar. you have to attack a specific people, group, religion, gender and do this for the political

reasons or to coerce that people group into doing one of many different things. or you can just be doing it together. and this definitely if the facts keep going in this direction, this was definitely, without a doubt, an act of terrorism. it just wasn't international terrorism. >> then we look at the incident in time square, everyone called it a terrorism for many hours. we were told it's not careful as well. >> thank you loosening. i think the one thing that made it's going to go down this road that we don't know is the fact that police have not backed off the terrorism investigation. and they are -- they -- anecdotal information that you deserve this. what he says you, it means he's

targeting it -- he expects them they expect them to be of a certain group. >> reporter: in terms of whether west coast is next. it's all a question. >> you'll see it from information. i know they can figure out whether it's network and the process we go into, if it is terror attack. >> absolutely. but there are times when the person doesn't come forth with their true motivation because they've, somewhat, realized the trouble they've gotten themselves into it. suddenly it becomes more and more real. that's not going to happen a particular social media presence. if they've talked to many people about this, it's not going to depend on this person's confession, whether they can convict him or not. >> okay. steve, thank you very much, indeed. after that, we know that one of the delays, potentially, is

this -- it's being obsessed for many health issues as well. there are a lot of things to kor. the issue is that here people want answers and they want the mound. pressure really is on the police right now. the officer was describing, they're very resources how you consider what happened as political bridge company attacked. but no, my person -- the pressure is here. let's see how they handle that over the course of the day. we'll be back in a moment. with type 2 diabetes a lower a1c is a lot about choices. but it can be hard sometimes, 'cause different sides of you struggle with which ones to make. well, what if you kept making good ones? then? you could love your numbers. discover once-daily invokana®, a pill used along with diet and exercise to significantly lower blood sugar

all the victims were members of the muslim community. the case is being investigated. cnn has experienced video which they say was alleged to use a van to ram into the crowd. he's now in custody. he's the only suspect in this case. the muslim -- the van ran over people as they were leaving the mosque. the british prime minister says the meeting in the coming hours and the london went further saying police are responding to an horrific terrorist attack on innocent people. they're reacting the to the news with online statements. the labor leader as well, has just tweeted, not just because he's the leader of the opposition, but also he's the local md. he said i'm totally shocked of the incident at the park tonight.

phil black is here. we have this incident here in the uk. obviously, it was a terrorist attack. people are saying sooner and sooner after these things happen. that's huge pressure that these guys have faced. >> they have given us regular updates through the day and it indicates they are treating this as terrorist attack. it bares all of the marks of some of the previous attacks in london. they both primarily use beagles to knock people down. of course, the london bridge attack and both of those use them as well. the police stressing on this occasion, no one suffered any knife injuries, but they said, they're keeping an open mind when it comes to motivation. >> in terms of where it goes from here, they haven't spoke ton the suspect, right, he went to the hospital and they're assessing him. >> that's right. they obviously want to do that and that will give him, hopefully, let me cooperate.

that will give him an idea of why he did this, that's the one unanswered questionment we know what happened here. and hit by all accounts. they suggest that this was entirely deliberate from the way he swerved into the people. from the way he resisted the people he tried to stop them. to the things he said to him when he was fighting back. that's what the witnesses said. >> that's consistent testimony from the many people we've spoke within. >> it is clear. >> the one unanswered question why did he do this, what was his motivation, is it political. >> what's going to be the challenge theresa may when she comes out, the police haven't had a chance to question him. she's going to have to come out and appease the pressure here, which is all around, you know, why are they calling it terror. why are they not presenting this community as they have other communities. >> there is a concern that this isn't being treated equally in

the way there are other attacks in london, where they were terrorist attacks relatively quickly. i think we can do what the police are doing. they're treating this as terrorist. they came to make the point, too. . they're saying this is being treated as terrorism while they investigate the possible motivation. no doubt he's been briefed by police, but he is ahead of his own police force in the way he's describing it. he's getting the same resources as the other attacks that we have. >> indeed, i think that's the point they're making. they're treating this seriously. they're giving all the results as if this was any other and making the point this isn't just an attack on this community. it's yet again an attack on

london. >> he's tauxing about the witnesses that saw what happened and then got involved and pulled the guy out of the back. incredible work. he said he acted instinctively. >> it's an extraordinary story. they saw the van, saw it plow through these people and ran up to the van once it stopped and wrestled this guy to the ground. >> before he was going to carry it on. >> they feared he was going to continue to hurt people. while they were waiting for the police, they were doing the best to keep them away from this guy. who knows what could have happened. it's such highly charged situati

situation. the police officers putting themselves between the man that was being held and extremely angry crowd. >> when they talk about the resources being stretched, i mean, they're not buying, it's incredible pressure. >> what we've been hearing there's been this enormous uptick in terrorist activity. that's on the investigative side, too. they're making arrest almost every day. what they're usually talking about internationally inspired terrorism. this could be terrorism by all accounts. could be in response to it. it's a more specific domestic type of terrorism. it adds to the sense of unease. they'll be talking about it, don't worry, we're united.

now we have possibly a reprisal attack against the muslim community, that is going to make a lot of people very upset and nervous and that's what people here are telling us. >> and there's real cohesiveness between the muslim communities and all the other communities that work has almost been going, again, the separation. >> it did. even in the wake of the other terror attacks, too. a lot of people went out of their way to show their support for the muslim communities. that said, a lot say they've been on the receiving end with a lot of hate. they say that's been increasing and that's where they're worried this sort of attack fits into that trend. they are concerned it could be more. >> fill, thank you very much, indeed. they're not looking for any other suspects. i think we've reached the end of the immediate response. but certainly it's all about the investigation, the questioning of that suspect, we'll bring you

>> one person has died and eight others are wounded from a vehicle plowing into pedestrians. the person who died, died as direct result of the attack. we're trying to get collar clarification on that. all the victims were members of the muslim communities and the case is being investigated as a terror attack. cnn has exclusive video. it's said to show the alleged driver and the van which was used to ram into the ground. the suspect was tackled by witnesses and held until police arrived. they say so far it's been only one suspect in this case. they haven't actually managed to question him. the counselor great britain tweeted it was informed the van ran over people as they were leaving the mosques. british prime minister says she was will be carrying a emergency meeting and expect an update from her after that.

police are responding to horrific terrorist attack on people. they're all pretty consistent. >> i went to the shop and came back. i see a white van. i see people screaming, shouting, extremely devastated, you understand, just an arcy. and he was making like being very -- >> this is the suspect you're talking about? >> yeah, the suspect. >> reporter: just describe how that area is. i mean, it's this busy every night. >> that's right. >> reporter: so really thick with people, everyone was identified the muslim. >> that's right.

that's right. this was a direct attack on muslims, why. this time of year, there are two mosques. the last days, people are going to be praying in the mosque. for this assailant, you understand, this to come do an attack where there's highly populated muslim area to cause anything accept deliberate attack on muslim community. >> if nothing else, it feels under attack today, this community. >> it felt under attack for a very long time. to be specific since 9/11, that's when the muslim community has been feeling under attack. from far right extremist. to think we've seen perfect example of that happening here,

you understand, the community is terrified and devastated and deeply saddened. people just recently passed away and the people from this community will go over and there and help them for people to happen on their doorstep. >> if you look at the national media outlet. when this incident happen, they didn't mark it down as a terrorist incident. >> it's difficult to do that. police have to do that. >> okay. fair enough. but even for the police services, as well. you understand. police services to not mark it down as terrorist incident. is it going to be too late for

you in a way. do you feel the damage has been done. >> just now i see this as lack of reprisal, lack of retaliation attack towards the muslim community. they didn't want to do anything. they didn't see anything. maybe they'll see justification after this. >> more details on the investigation and reaction after the break. we'll see that this is being treated as a terrorist investigation.

breaking overnight, a van slams into a crowd out a mosque in london. police investigating this attack as terrorist. mixed messages from the white house and from president trump. >> it's that simple -- the president is not under investigation. >> the president's only lawyer contradicting his boss. how the trump legal team is explaining the president's claims he is under investigation. good morning, everyone, and welcome to "early start." i'm dave briggs. >> i'm christine
