"What this case demonstrates is that individuals can be become radicalised really, really quickly," said Commander Dean Haydon, the head of London's Counter Terrorism Command. "To be honest, some individuals look at material today and decide to do an attack later on this evening." Early on June 18, Osborne left his home in Cardiff, Wales, in a heavy van he had rented the day before and drove to central London. Thwarted by road closures, Osborne headed south where he unsuccessfully looked for a mosque before going to north London and the Finsbury Park area. Haydon described him as "a devious, vile and hate-filled individual".
