Police officers investigate a crime scene at Leytonstone underground station in east London, Britain December 6, 2015.

Following a terrorist incident at a London underground station - in which three people were stabbed by a man reportedly screaming "this is for Syria" - people have rallied around the hashtag #YouAintNoMuslimBruv.

It started trending after a man was filmed telling the suspected attacker - who was still being questioned by police on Sunday morning - "you ain't no Muslim bruv."
