Two stabbed by man ‘trying to attack Jewish people’ in Golders Green

Two people have reportedly been stabbed in Golders Green, north London.

Emergency services could be pictured at the scene with footage also appearing to show a man being arrested.

Shomrim, a Jewish volunteer-led security force, said: ‘One male was seen running along Golders Green Road armed with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public.

‘Shomrim responded immediately and detained the suspect. Police attended and deployed a taser.

‘The male has now been arrested.

‘Two victims have been stabbed and are being treated by Hatzola. The suspect is in custody.’

The Community Security Trust said: ‘There has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested.

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

It comes after an October 7 memorial wall in the area was vandalised just yesterday.

Counter-terror police are investigating an attempt to set fire to the wall in Golders Green, north London, in the early hours of Monday morning.

A ‘man dressed in black’ was said to have set fire to part of the memorial before fleeing.

The wall has pictures of people killed in the October 7th attack in Israel, as well as the thousands of protestors who were killed during anti-regime protests in Iran in January.
