The BBC understands that the suspect being held after the Golders Green knife attack yesterday is 45-year-old Essa Suleiman from south-east London.
He was born in Somalia, but came to the UK as a child in the early 1990s. He came legally, and is now a British citizen.
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley previously said he had a “history of serious violence and mental health issues.”
So just a regular Muslim then.
