Dylan Ossei, 34, pleaded guilty to three religiously aggravated offences at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Monday. It comes after two men, aged 58 and 26, and a 53-year-old woman were injured in the incident in Southbury Road in Enfield in the early hours of Saturday. Ossei was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Wood Green Crown Court for sentencing at a later date.

The Turning Point USA co-founder, known for his extreme anti-LGBTQ+ views, was fatally shot in the neck during a crowded open-air debate on gun violence at Utah Valley University on Wednesday (10 September).

Of the 3,708 mass shooting incidents in the US since 2015, only an estimated 16 of the incidents were committed by trans people.
