London Park attack: Suspect shouted, 'I'm going to kill all Muslims' after alleged hate crime

Witnesses of the Finsbury Park attack narrated the fallout of the incident after a van was driven into pedestrians near a north London mosque leaving at least one man dead outside the mosque and eight injured.

According to a report in The Telegraph, a witnessed said that a 48-year-old suspect had screamed "I'm going to kill all Muslims" before he was taken down. The onlookers had detained the suspect after which he was arrested by police.

"He was screaming, he was saying, 'I'm going to kill all Muslims, I'm going to kill all Muslims'. He was throwing punches.

"Then we managed to get him on the floor. Then he was saying, 'Kill me, kill me'. I said, 'We are not going to kill you. Why did you do that?' He wouldn't say anything," the witnessed informed.

The van attack at Finsbury Park targetted Muslim worshippers leaving Finsbury Park mosque, according to reports.
