A Canadian citizen and resident of France were among the seven killed in the London terror attacks, while several other foreigners also had their throats slit in the carnage, authorities said Sunday.

Police haven’t yet named any of the dead, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed that one of them was a Canadian citizen.

“I am heartbroken that a Canadian is among those killed,” Trudeau said in a statement. “We grieve with the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones, and wish all those injured a speedy and full recovery.”

A French man also died in the murderous rampage but a spokesman for France’s foreign ministry gave no further details Sunday, the UK Telegraph reported.

Forty-eight others were injured — and 21 of them are fighting for their lives with critical injuries after three terrorists in a van slammed into pedestrians on London Bridge then stormed nearby Borough Market with knives, according to local authorities.

In total, at least seven of those injured were from France, one was from Spain and two were German residents, according to government officials. An Australian citizen and a New Zealand resident were also injured.

Australian Candice Hedge, 34, is unable to speak after one of the three attackers stabbed her in the throat.

“She can’t talk. She’s been stabbed around her neck, her throat. She’s all bandaged up,” her mother, Kim Del Toro, told the Sydney Morning Herald. “She went into surgery, but she’s going to be fine, thank goodness.”

New Zealand man Oliver Dowling, 32, was placed in a medically induced coma and underwent surgery at University of London Hospital after he was stabbed in the face, neck, and stomach, according to the London Sun.

“Doctors are very happy with how he’s come out the other side,” his sister posted on Facebook Sunday.

Brett Freeman, a father-of-three from London was stabbed four times but is expected to recover, the UK Sun reported.

Daniel O’Neill, 23, also suffered a seven-inch cut from his stomach to his back and was also recovering in a hospital, BBC reported.

“He had just stepped outside the bar for a second and a man ran up to him and said ‘this is for my family, this is for Islam’ and put a knife in him,” his mother, Elizabeth O’Neill, told BBC.

“I’m still in shock. I can’t quite believe it’s happened,” she said.

Police accidentally shot one bystander as they fired at the three terrorists, cops said, but the man’s injuries weren’t critical.

Two cops were also injured in the melee — an on-duty transit cop who bravely fought off the attackers with only his baton and an off-duty officer who was stabbed using his rugby skills to tackle one of the assailants, according to the BBC.

Geoff Ho, business editor at the Sunday Express newspaper, was also injured, the BBC reported.
