that was mohammed shafiq from the ramadan foundation speaking to the earlier. and that is a street near the finsbury park mosque where this incident happened between four and five hours ago at 12:15am london time. the metropolitan police have described this as a van or a vehicle colliding with pedestrians, various eyewitnesses, the muslim council for various eyewitnesses, the muslim councilfor britain various eyewitnesses, the muslim council for britain and the ramadan foundation said it was a deliberate attack, one that targeted muslims. we can now speak to muhbeen hussain, founder of british muslim youth, he's been at finsbury park mosque speak to witnesses. on the ground? i think it must be clarified that this was outside muslim welfare house. in fact there's been some wrong reporting of this, and there's been some frustration on the ground. not really anger, just emotions are high. with eyewitnesses that were there at the time of the attack, you can't confirm many things at the moment, but the idea that it was a deliberate attack is something that was on th

over a million views others focused on the instance not to racism how much a freak from the ramadan foundation says it's symptomatic of what's happening across europe used. i think it was inappropriate with the way the guides. try to get him off the train he was an aggressive full from what we could see in the video and you know he should they could have awaited for the police and allowed the police to do that i think it was a sorry sorry episode and i think it reflects on german society but this is systematic of what is going on across europe where racism has been on the rise for a number of years and i think this is an example of where people think they can take the going to tone hands in the way that these people are doing these types of activity on the rise across europe and i think. when you have an atmosphere when rates system against migrants to refugees is on the open then you will see more more of these types of students from germany and believe the refugees sometimes deliberately abuse the law. i personally know of pastis. so if you cheese enter the trade with our ticket and they kno

the chief executive of the ramadan foundation in good evening to you or good morning in fact so far we don't know the motive do we how this happened but it did happen near one of the u.k.'s biggest mosques does it look like muslims were deliberately targeted . what a comet it had been a number of i mean you were there at what night it does look like it was a deliberate attempt to rattle the people leaving tipping his body part more there were a lot of muslims as you said coming out of the mosque up the evening prayers it's ramadan the last week from it didn't start it this week and so there would have been a lot of muslim families children as well who would have left the mosque around that time twelve twenty two which is around twelve twenty to. about a couple are only a couple of hours bill so it's you know obviously we can't speculate about the circumstances but from what i witnessed use of told me it does look like a deliberate attack against innocent muslims leaving a mosque. in the westminster bridge attack back in march the london bridge incidents in june vehicles were used to ru

earlier, we spoke to someone from the ramadan foundation is an a lot of shocked and upset is there infor calm. this is not a time for division. so many communities in so many parts of the uk have been affected by attacks like this one appears to be. in london, westminster bridge, borough market, manchester and now, it seems, near finsbury park mosque. what looks like an attack, targeting the muslim community in that part of north london. pictures recorded earlier of people praying and also pictures of the police response. earlier, i spoke tojermainjackman who was at the scene of the incident and i ask him what he saw. soi so i was on my way home from a show, andi so i was on my way home from a show, and ijust so i was on my way home from a show, and i just saw a so i was on my way home from a show, and ijust saw a number of police officers running in one direction. i ignored it. iwent officers running in one direction. i ignored it. i went home, started officers running in one direction. i ignored it. iwent home, started my dinner, and then i went on — i saw there was an attack. so i

we've heard from the muslim council for britain and the ramadan foundation that it is potentially being. let's listen to another man who described what happened when the incident took place. apparently they were helping an elderly gentleman that had collapsed beforehand. the van turned left after people had been helping this man with no indication and theyjust hit the people. people were gathered around the van to lift the van up to get this by —— this guy from under. people started shouting. one of them got arrested. he was shouting i want to kill all muslims. literally he said that. word by word, he said it like this. i'm sure, guys, this is a terrorist attack, whether he's a muslim, whether he's a christian, this is a terrorist attack. tomorrow i don't want to hear you saying he's got mental issues, that's not acceptable. all terrorists have mental issues then. use a terrorist, christian or muslim, no religion belongs to terrorism. terrorism has no religion. all of them are terrorists when they hurt or harm or kill people. this is terrorism. good morning, you're with bbc news. we are
