Update, 4:00 a.m., June 19: The BBC reports that a man has died and 10 people have been injured after a van mounted the pavement and struck a group of people outside the Muslim Welfare Center near London’s Finsbury Park Mosque.

The Guardian reports that the Metropolitan Police have arrested the driver of the van, identified as a 48-year-old male, on suspicion of murder. All victims were Muslim.
