AKIPRESS.COM - The family of a man arrested after a terror attack near a London mosque say they are "shocked" and "devastated," BBCreported.

Father-of-four Darren Osborne, 47, was held on suspicion of attempted murder and alleged terror offences after a van hit Muslims in Finsbury Park.

They had been helping a man who had collapsed. He later died but it is not clear if it was because of the attack.

Met Police chief Cressida Dick and faith leaders were among hundreds who took part in a vigil on Monday night.

One man died and 9 people were hospitalized following the assault, the latest in a series of terror attacks to hit the United Kingdom this year.
The driver, a white man, was wrestled to the ground by members of the public and then arrested at the scene, CNN reported.

Police say a total of 11 people were injured.

The attack took place shortly after midnight close to Muslim Welfare House on Seven Sisters Road, which is also a community centre.

Prime Minister Theresa May said the attack was "every bit as sickening" as the others.
