After a knife attack at a London Tube station, a bystander apparently shouted: "You ain't no Muslim bruv! You ain't no Muslim!"

#YouAintNoMuslimBruv began trending on Twitter in effort to set attack apart from Islam

(CNN)In a video showing the frenzied aftermath of a knife attack at a London tube station Saturday, the voice of one man shouts loud and clear: "You ain't no Muslim bruv! You ain't no Muslim!"

As police investigate the motive behind the attack, the bystander's retort -- along with the hashtag #youaintnomuslimbruv -- has gone viral on social media.
