The attacker was British born and was inspired by Islamist ideology, and was once investigated by MI5 after concerns of violent extremism, May confirmed during her address.
Four people, including a police officer, and the assailant, were killed in the attack. Police have arrested seven suspects in connection to the deadly incident.
