More than 10 pedestrians were hit by a white van that veered onto a pavement near a renowned north London mosque, in what is being described as a 'terrorist attack'.

One man has been arrested but it is feared two more suspects may be on the run after the van ploughed into a crowd outside Finsbury Park Mosque, as they finished taraweeh, Ramadan evening prayers.

Eye witnesses reported seeing bystanders wrestle the suspect to the floor and pin him down until officers arrived. 

Others suggested that the congregation of victims were trying to save a man who had collapsed at a bus stop.

Emergency service crews were also spotted trying giving cardiac massages to the injured in a desperate bid to save them.
