Darren Osborne is accused of attempted murder and murder in the Finsbury Park terror attack (PA)

Survivors of the terror attack in Finsbury Park have evidence on the third day of Darren Osborne’s trial.

Witnesses told the jury how a crowd of Muslim worshippers were helping a man who collapsed when a van ploughed into them at speed, scattering victims in its wake.

Mr Osborne attempted to flee from the vehicle but found himself trapped in a dead end, the court heard, and was restrained by survivors while allegedly telling them: "I've done my job, you can kill me now."

Woolwich Crown Court previously heard that the 48-year-old became “brainwashed” after watching a drama on grooming gangs and read posts by Tommy Robinson and the leaders of far-right extremist group Britain First.

He is accused of running a hired van into crowds of Muslim worshippers shortly after 12.15am on 19 June last year, killing 51-year-old Makram Ali and injuring nine other victims.

Mr Osborne denies charges of murder and attempted murder.

On Tuesday, the court heard from a local van hire company that rented Mr Osborne the vehicle used in the attack.

Employees said there appeared to be nothing unusual about the transaction and that the defendant, arriving to pick up the van alone, was “polite and well-mannered”.

The court also from witnesses who saw Mr Osborne drinking in The Hollybush pub in Cardiff the night before the attack.

They told the jury he claimed to be writing a letter to the Government and had told them: “I’m going to kill Muslims, your family are going to be Muslims, they’re all terrorists and I’m going to take it into my own hands.”

Mr Osborne allegedly told drinkers about a march due to take place the following day in London for al-Quds day, which prosecutors said he had researched online.

A taxi driver told the court he gave Mr Osborne, who had driven from Cardiff, directions to the location where the concluding rally was being held on 18 June but that the surrounding roads were closed off.

Other members of the public alleged that the defendant asked them directions to mosques in different parts of London later in the day, finally specifically asking how to get to “the big mosque” in Finsbury Park.

Jurors were shown CCTV footage of the scene near the Muslim Welfare House at around midnight, where Mr Ali collapsed and Muslim worshippers leaving prayers rushed to help him.

Mr Osborne stared straight ahead as the court was played footage of the moment the van swerved from the main road into the crowd at speed, leaving casualties scattered on the ground.

A handwritten note – which complained about terrorists, grooming gangs and targeted public figures including Jeremy Corbyn and Sadiq Khan - was found in the cab of the van after the attack.
