Finsbury Park attack: Theresa May condemns 'sickening' terror attack

Metropolitan Police's deputy assistant commissioner Neil Basu said the terror attack began when the van was driven into a man who was already being given first aid by the public on the pavement.
Several of those in hospital are "seriously injured", he added.
Eyewitness Abdul Rahman told the BBC: "When the guy came out from his van he wanted to escape, run away, and he was saying 'I want to kill Muslims. 'I want to kill Muslims.'
"I hit him on his stomach... and then me and the other guys... we held him to the ground until he couldn't move. We stopped him until the police came."
Earlier, police also said the arrested man would be the "subject of a mental health assessment in due course".
