A stabbing incident occurred in Golders Green, a neighbourhood in north London with a large Jewish population, where a man stabbed two people before being arrested by British police.
A Jewish security organisation said that police arrested a man after the incident. The group Shomrim said on X that a man was seen running with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish residents, before a member of the organisation managed to detain him.
It added that police arrived at the scene and used a stun gun, according to Reuters.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the stabbing was “very concerning” and told Parliament that police are currently investigating the incident.
Last month, counterterrorism police arrested more than 20 people as part of investigations into attacks targeting buildings linked to the Jewish community, amid rising tensions following the war with Iran.
