Man Tasered and arrested at Regent's Park mosque after waving a SHOE HORN at worshippers

A MAN was Tasered by cops and arrested after waving a shoe horn at Muslim worshippers this morning.

The Met Police confirmed they were called to reports of a man attacking people at the London Central Mosque in Regent's Park, London, just after 1.20am.

They found a man waving an item around, which turned out to be a shoe horn taken from the mosque.

The man was Tasered and arrested on suspicion of affray.

Police said the incident is not being treated as terrorism related at this time and they are keeping an "open mind" to the motivation behind the incident.

One shouts: "Everybody stay back now!"

Onlookers can be seen standing around filming the arrest on their phones as cops tell them to "move away".

It comes just two days after a group of Muslims in Finsbury Park, north London, were mowed down by a van in a terror attack.

One man died and 10 people were injured after Darren Osborne, a Cardiff dad-of-four, allegedly smashed into the worshippers after they left the Muslim Welfare Centre just before 12.30am on Monday.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101.
