Several pedestrians have been injured after being hit by a van in London.
Witnesses said the vehicle veered off the road into crowds outside Finsbury Park Mosque but it was unclear whether the collision was deliberate.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said officers were called at 12.20am.
"Officers are on the scene with other emergency services," he added. "There are a number of casualties being worked on at the scene. There has been one person arrested. Enquiries continue."
Police did not confirm claims Muslims leaving the mosque after Tarawih prayers performed for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Part of Seven Sisters Road has been closed as the operation continues.
It came weeks after three Isis supporters rammed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before rampaging through Borough Market with knives, killing eight people before being shot dead by police.
There was no immediate suggestion the incident in Finsbury Park was terror-related.
