A man died after being struck by a van which crashed into a group of people during a terror attack near a mosque in north London, an inquest has heard.

Makram Ali, from Haringey, had left a prayer meeting in Finsbury Park when he was hit by the vehicle in the early hours of Monday June 19

The 51-year-old is believed to have suffered a "medical episode" shortly before the incident and had fallen to the ground.

However, Mr Ali was alive when the van crashed into him, the inquest at St Pancras Coroner's Court heard.

The father-of-six was pronounced dead at 1.04am. A post-mortem examination found his death was caused by multiple injuries.

Following his death, Mr Ali's family described him as a "quiet, gentle man".

Nine other people were injured in the attack near the Muslim Welfare House.

Detective Inspector Edwin Hall, from the Metropolitan Police, said the incident was being treated as a terrorist-related murder.

He told the inquest those present at the scene were wearing traditional Muslim dress and were easily recognisable as being Muslim.

The area was busy with worshippers attending Ramadan night prayers at the time.

Darren Osborne, 47, from Cardiff, is charging with killing Mr Ali and the attempted murder of others at the scene.
