Kent MPs have condemned a terror attack outside Finsbury Park Mosque in London.

One man died and at least 10 were injured when a white van ploughed into worshippers as they were leaving the north London mosque just after midnight.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested after he was reportedly restrained by members of the public who called police.

Several eye-witnesses told reporters at the scene the man shouted that he wanted to "kill all Muslims" before deliberately driving into pedestrians.

Police initially referred to the attack as an "incident" but Home Secretary Amber Rudd said this morning it is now being treated as a "terrorist incident".

As news of the tragedy broke, politicians in Kent were quick to condemn the attack.

MP for Folkestone and Hythe, Damian Collins, tweeted: "Terrible news from Finsbury Park and our prayers are with the victims. We need to work together and stop hate ripping this country apart."

His colleague Helen Whately, who represents Faversham and Mid Kent, said: "Shocked to wake to news of van attack on worshipers outside mosque. Awful contrast to the spirit of #GreatGetTogether events this weekend."

Charlie Elphicke, the MP for Dover and Deal, wrote: "Deeply shocked by the attack at Finsbury Park - we must stand firm against terrorism and all those who seek to divide us."

Tonbridge and Malling MP Tom Tugendhat said: "Horrific terrorist attack on mosque in London. We are all victims of hate crime. It divides us and makes us weaker."

MP for South Thanet, Craig Mackinlay, retweeted a message by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

Mr Welby said: "The attack at #FinsburyPark mosque is abhorrent. We stand in solidarity with our Muslim friends and pray for the bereaved and injured."

Met Police said this morning that the man who died was already receiving first aid and it is not yet known if his death was caused by attack.

Chief Constable of Kent, Alan Pughsley, said: "The safety of our communities remains a priority and the force is continuing to protect and serve the people of Kent.

"There is nothing to suggest there is a specific threat to Kent" - Chief Constable Alan Pughsley

"We are engaging with the Muslim Community who are observing Ramadan and will be preparing for Eid Celebrations next week to provide reassurance.

"All calls to Kent Police are fully assessed according to threat, harm, risk and vulnerability and will continue to be resourced and responded to on this basis.

"Members of the public are urged to carry on their normal business and continue to enjoy the county but we ask them to remain vigilant and let us know if they see anything that causes them concern by dialling 999 immediately."
