Vehicle Hits Pedestrians in London

LONDON — A vehicle drove into pedestrians early Monday morning in London.

The Metropolitan Police called it “a major incident” and said a number of casualties were being treated at the scene. At least three or four people were injured, according to eyewitnesses who spoke to the BBC.

One person has been arrested.

The incident, which the police were called to at 12:20 a.m., occurred on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park, a neighborhood where many immigrants live.

Several reports on social media, which could not be immediately confirmed, said a van had crashed into pedestrians leaving the Muslim Welfare House, which offers karate and football classes and serves as a community center.

“Our prayers and thoughts with those injured outside Muslim Welfare House in Seven Sisters road hit by a van mounting pavement,” MEND, a nonprofit organization that fights Islamophobia and encourages British Muslims to get more involved in media and politics, wrote on Twitter.
