In a horrific incident, a man went on a knife attack spree and stabbed two Jews in an area of north London with a large Jewish population, a community organisation said on Wednesday.
The British police have arrested the accused amid a recent spate of anti-semitic attacks in the UK capital. Speaking about the attack, a Jewish organisation, Shomrim, said on X that a man was
seen running with a knife in Golders Green and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public, before its officers detained
him.

Initial reports indicate that the attack is being considered a terrorist incident. Police used a taser to stop him, the group added.
London's Metropolitan Police are yet to reveal full details and the motive behind the assault. The injured were rushed to the hospital and were being treated.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the House of Commons that the incident was "deeply concerning". Visuals from the scene that surfaced online showed the emergency services standing over a victim lying on the street.
Synagogue arson
The attack comes after an ambulance was set on fire at the same location, and Jewish-linked premises were attacked. An arson was also attempted on synagogues.
