BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a man and was "probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour".

About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.

She said the van, which was travelling from the direction of central London, headed towards the south side of the river.

Ms Jones later reported seeing a man being arrested by police. She said he was handcuffed and had his shirt off.

It is just something you have to get use to. You can't become racist xenophobic islamaphobe and seal yourself away from DIEversity enrichment.  

But it I am jumping to conclusions because this could very well be the work of some deranged Jesus freak helping all the sinners get to hell.

This is a very tight part, old part of London with windy streets btw.

I'm sure people are aware but worth remembering it's just about midnight there.

I'm with you. They should deport every brown person in the country with a funny sounding name, natural born citizen or not. Sure it will completely wreck their economy and all that but you can't be too safe these days. If only they lived in the home of the brave....

Somewhat, it's essentially a turn or two off of it.

Police enter bar, ordering people to get down

British Transport Police said they have received reports of multiple casualties.

At this point my reaction is  until we all decide to actually do something about this. Otherwise why should I put all my concern into this every month and a large portion of people want to just sit back and let it continue to happen? I'm done. Wake me up when everyone cares.

You try way to hard to be a complete dooshh.

This was my biggest fear after 9/11. It's taken almost 20 years but it seems attacks are a part of our daily life.

The incident at #Vauxhall is a stabbing and is not connect to the incidents at #LondonBridge & #BoroughMarket

 

[El Floppo]

here's a link for most of you. please check in and stay there awhile while this plays out.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

There may have been an incident at Southwark Street too.

- As many as 5, but per above Vauxhall might be separate.

Get used to this. Far too many people in the West are ideologically committed to maintaining the status quo. It isn't going to stop until a major city goes up in a ball of nuclear fire.

Pretty serious approach by the police - civilians were evacuated from the area, hands on head.
