“This is being treated as a terrorist attack,” said Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu told reporters. The latest terrorist attack in London — the third in three months — was “every bit as sickening” as those that have come before, said British Prime Minister Theresa May. She hailed the “bravery” of locals for detaining the driver at the scene in the north London district of Finsbury Park. The incident occurred near two mosques: the Finsbury Park Mosque and the Muslim Welfare House. Many called the incident a terrorist attack, saying the driver had deliberately targeted Muslims.
