An alleged attack on a mosque in Luton has left its door covered in damage. Video of the Ebrahim Cultural Centre shows the front door left full of holes following the incident.
Police say that an incident of criminal damage took place at the mosque in Dudley Street, Luton, on Saturday (May 24). A post on a local community group alleges that no one was inside the mosque at the time.

“Our Community Cohesion team have attended the centre and will continue to offer support and reassurance.”
