LONDON: An Imam who restrained a crowd from attacking a terrorist who drove a van into worshippers at London’s Finsbury Park Mosque in 2017 was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by the Duke of Cambridge on Thursday.
Imam Mohammed Mahmoud was awarded the OBE for his services to the community, having protected far-right attacker Darren Osborne immediately after he had driven a van into a packed pavement of Muslim worshippers in June 2017.
Prince William, whose title is the Duke of Cambridge, awarded the honor to Mahmoud at Buckingham Palace.
