British Prime Minister Theresa May said the police were treating London incident "as a potential terrorist attack", Sky News reported Monday.

"Police have confirmed this is being treated as a potential terrorist attack," May said, adding she would chair an emergency meeting later this morning.

"All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and the emergency services on the scene," she said.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said it was a "violent manifestation of Islamophobia" and called for extra security around mosques.
