One man, who declined to give his name, said he witnessed the attack. He said the van pulled into a parking space next to the community centre where people were congregating outside, before appearing to accelerate into them.

一名不愿具名的男子称自己目击了这次袭击。他说，当时人们正聚集在社区中心外面，那辆厢式货车先是在社区中心旁边的一个停车位停靠，然后貌似是加速冲向人群。

He said three men exited the van. One, who the witness believed was the driver, was grabbed and attacked by people including himself, he said. Two other men ran off. All three were white, two people said.

这名目击者说，有3名男子从厢式货车上下来，其中一名据他认为是司机的男子，被包括他在内的人抓住并殴打。另外两名男子逃跑了。两位人士称，这3名男子都是白人。

The van hit one person in a wheelchair who was outside the centre as well as at least another four people, according to the man who said he witnessed the attack.

据这名目击者表示，厢式货车冲撞了社区中心外一个坐轮椅的人，以及至少其他4人。

Locals said on Twitter that the man was initially detained by people on the street. “I also want to confirm that innocent bystanders confronted the terrorist and held him down until police came,” tweeted a man called Didier.

当地人在Twitter上表示，那名司机最开始是被街道上的人们制服的。“我还想证实一点，是无辜的旁观者与恐怖分子对峙，并在警方赶到之前制服了他，”一名叫迪迪埃(Didier)的男子在Twitter上发帖称。

Athmane Touami, who lives in the area, said he had seen at least 12 people with injuries after the van targeted people leaving a mosque on Seven Sisters Road.

住在事件发生区域的阿斯曼?图阿米(Athmane Touami)表示，那辆厢式货车瞄准了从七姐妹路上的一座清真寺离开的人们，至少有12人受伤。
