Starmer says ‘antisemitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling’ after two people stabbed – latest updates

Man arrested after two people were attacked in north London, Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim has said

The latest incident comes after a series of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites in north London.

In a post on social media the Jewish charity the Community Security Trust said:

There has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested. We would like to thank @shomrimlondon, @Hatzola and @metpoliceuk for their swift response.

We are working closely with the police and urge anyone with information to contact the police, Shomrim and CST immediately.

We are aware of a reported stabbing incident in Golders Green, with two injured. The police have apprehended a suspect. We are liaising with the CST, government and police to understand what has happened and ensure a forceful response.

It is deeply concerning to everyone in this house.

There is now a police investigation, and I think we all need to do everything we can to support that investigation and be absolutely clear in our determination to deal with any of these offences, the like of which we have seen too much recently.

The antisemitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling.

Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain. Thank you to Shomrim, Hatzola and the police for acting swiftly.
