Londoners took to social media to offer free accommodation and rides to anyone caught up in the terror attacks on Saturday night.

Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

The offers of help from the public mirrored what happened in Manchester last week, reported the Daily Telegraph.

British armed police rushed to three incidents in central London on Saturday after a van ploughed into pedestrians on London Bridge and reports of multiple stabbings in the nearby Borough Market area.

Police sent out security advice to Londoners on Twitter saying "run, hide, tell" if they were caught in an attack. The BBC cited police as saying there had been more than one fatality.
