- Two Jewish men, aged 76 and 34, were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday morning and are currently in a stable condition in hospital.
- The 45-year-old knifeman, who has a history of serious violence and mental health problems, was Tasered and arrested by two police officers who believed he was carrying an explosive device.
- The incident has been formally declared a terrorist attack, with counter-terrorism police investigating whether the Jewish community was deliberately targeted.
- Senior officials, including Sir Mark Rowley and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, condemned the attack, while Jewish leaders called for meaningful action against antisemitic violence.
- The stabbing follows a series of alleged arson attacks on Jewish sites in London, though police are treating a group's claim of responsibility for this knife attack with scepticism due to differing methods.
