Police declare terrorist incident after two Jewish men stabbed in London
1 day agoAnna LamcheandGabriela PomeroyPolice release body-worn footage of Golders Green arrestTwo Jewish men have been stabbed in Golders Green, north London, in what has been declared a terrorist incident by police.The men, named locally as Shilome Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76, were treated at the scene. They are now in a stable condition in hospital, the Metropolitan Police said.A 45-year-old man, a British national born in Somalia, was Tasered by police before being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, the force said. The suspect remains in custody.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the "antisemitic attack" - the latest in a string in the UK - was "utterly appalling", adding: "Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain."The Met said its officers responded at 11:16 BST on Wednesday after receiving reports that people had been stabbed in Highfield Avenue, which runs off Golders Green Road.The suspect also attempted to stab the attending officers, the Met said, but none were injured.Video shared on social media appears to show the moment of the arrest. Two officers can be seen approaching the man before one Tasers him and he falls to the ground. The man appears to then hold a sharp object to his chest with both hands, and the officers and a bystander attempt to wrest it from him. The officers can be seen kicking the man in the head several times in the struggle."The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat," the force said, adding that the suspect "continued to try to attack and stab" the officers as they were detaining him.Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley paid tribute to the officers' courage, saying: "These were not armed officers and they feared he was carrying an explosive device."The suspect had a history of serious violence and mental health issues, he added in a statement at the scene on Wednesday afternoon.ReutersThe Met later said officers were carrying out a search at an address in south-east London. Detectives believe the same suspect was involved in an earlier incident in the area.Police were called at 08:50 BST on Tuesday to an address on Great Dover Street in Southwark, after the suspect was reportedly involved in an altercation with the property's occupant.The occupant suffered "minor injuries" and attending officers were unable to locate the suspect, who had left.Eyewitness Daniela had been shopping in Golders Green on Wednesday morning when she heard people screaming: ...
