How Neighbors Saw Man Held in London Mosque Attack: ‘Drunk, Cursing and Vile’
Chris Peter, a car mechanic, said that he used to work with Mr. Osborne but that he had found Mr. Osborne to be "unreliable" and "erratic."
An attack at a London mosque is being investigated as terrorism.
Mr. Osborne added that When they complained about it, he swore at them and then went inside and started shouting at his children.
Amir Jark, a Muslim father of two children who attend the school, said
that he had seen Mr. Osborne many times and that he had appeared to be kind and even loving toward children.
Nothing about politics or terrorism." Mr. Evans added: "He’s very up and down,
but at his core, he’s a good man, or so we all believed." Residents on Monday voiced their uneasiness and praised the community response after an attack in which a van plowed into pedestrians outside a mosque during Ramadan.
I think he bought and sold lots of cars, and it was annoying
that he would park them all down the street." One resident described a time when Mr. Osborne had shouted at his family and thrown things around his garden.
Numerous residents here said that Mr. Osborne was often agitated, even disturbed,
but few described him as frightening and none said he had expressed political sentiments, much less anti-Muslim or far-right ones — until last weekend, when he was kicked out of a local pub, the Hollybush, after a drunken tirade.
