Imam Mohammed Mahmoud protected the Finsbury Park terrorist when civilians tried to beat him
(Web Desk) - A van driver rammed his car into crowds of men, women and children as they exited the Finsbury Park Mosque after late night prayers. One man was killed and several others were injured in the attack.
The van driver, a 46 year old man, was reportedly grabbed by several civilians before the police could reach the scene. They were ready to beat him senseless but were stopped from doing so by an Imam, later revealed as Mohammed Mahmoud, who intervened to protect the terrorist.
Speaking about the incident, Mahmoud said: “We found that a group of people quickly started to collect around the assailant and some tried to hit him with either kicks or punches. By God s grace we managed to surround him and to protect him from any harm. We stopped all forms of attack and abuse towards him that were coming from every angle. We pushed people away from him until he was safely taken by police into custody.”
He added: “It wasn’t me alone; there were a group of brothers…who were calm and collected and managed to calm people down and to extinguish any flames of anger or mob rule that would have taken charge had this group of mature brothers not stepped in.”
