The attack began at about 10 p.m., local time, when a van crossing London Bridge veered into pedestrians, crashing outside the Barrowboy & Banker Pub. Witnesses told the BBC that van hit "five or six people," then the attackers exited the vehicle and pursued others in a "rampage" in which hundreds ran for their lives. One witness said he saw a woman stabbed "10 or 15 times" by the men, who he said shouted "This is for Allah."

The men then ran down a set of stairs and at a number of different pubs and restaurants in , a historic fruit and vegetable market. that people were fake explosive vests.
