One person has been arrested following the incident.
Police are responding to reports of a van colliding with pedestrians outside a mosque in London, an incident that has resulted in "a number of casualties."
According to London's Metropolitan Police, one person has been arrested following the incident, which occurred around 12:15 a.m. local time Monday on Seven Sisters Road, near Finsbury Park station in the northern part of the city.
At least three people are "seriously injured," according to the BBC.
Authorities said it was too early to tell whether the incident was an act of terrorism.
Police have sealed off adjacent streets and said they were dealing with "a major incident." London Ambulance Service said it has sent "a number of resources" to the scene.
The area was brimming with people as Muslim worshippers were departing from evening prayers, according to the BBC. The Muslim Council of Britain said its "prayers were with the victims."
Monday's incident was the third since March involving a vehicle running into pedestrians in London. In March, a lone motorist mowed down dozens of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, killing five, before exiting his vehicle and fatally stabbing a police officer.
Earlier this month, several people were arrested for an attack in which a van drove into pedestrians on London Bridge before assailants exited the vehicle and began stabbing passersby at Borough Market. Eight people died in the attack.
The UK is also reeling from a suicide bombing at Manchester Arena last month in which 22 people died and 119 were injured.
