Jennette Arnold OBE AM, Chair of the London Assembly, said:
“We stand together with the people of Finsbury Park this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with those killed and injured.
This attack on the people of London is yet another attempt to breed hatred and division in our city.
Londoners cherish the tolerance and diversity of the capital. The people of this great city will be disgusted at the apparent motivation of this incident.
We remain steadfast in our condemnation of all acts of terror.
The new Met Commissioner is due to appear before the London Assembly Police & Crime Committee on Wednesday. The Assembly will want to know how communities can feel safe and reassured in the wake of this terrible spate of dreadful attacks.”
