One person has been killed and ten more injured after a white van driver screaming 'I'm going to kill all Muslims' ploughed into worshippers near a renowned north London mosque, in the latest terror attack to rock Britain.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the van mounted the pavement and veered into the congregation outside the Muslim Welfare House, near Finsbury Park Mosque, shortly after they finished Ramadan evening prayers.

Heroic bystanders wrestled the suspect - who was clean-shaven with curly hair and wore a white t-shirt - to the floor and pinned him down until officers arrived after he allegedly screamed 'I want to kill all Muslims', and 'I did my bit'.

At the time of the attack, which was just after midnight, several people were heroically giving first aid to an elderly member of the public who had collapsed at the bus stop with a medical issue.  

Today, police confirmed he was the man who had died. Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner Neil Basu said it is not yet known if his death was caused by the terror attack but that it would form part of the investigation.  

He said a further eight casualties are being treated across three London hospitals for 'serious injuries' while two victims sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.  

As details of the attack emerged, the Muslim Council of Britain condemned the incident as 'the most violent manifestation' yet of Islamophobia and called for extra security around mosques.

The Met Police has now vowed to put extra security around mosques as Muslims continue to mark the holy month of Ramadan. Mr Basu said it was an 'incredibly challenging time for London' with emergency services 'stretched' but that officers would do all they could to keep people safe.
