Summary
- There are calls for more action on antisemitism after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London
- The stabbing victims, who were named locally as Shilome Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76, are in a stable condition
- The chief rabbi has called for “meaningful action”, while the terror watchdog says antisemitism is a “national emergency”
- The Metropolitan Police force has released body-worn footage of the arrest of a man after the attack – which has been formally declared a terrorist incident
- The footage appears to show the suspect walking towards the police officers before a Taser is deployed. The officers can be heard yelling “drop the knife” repeatedly
- Detectives are also investigating a separate incident at an address in south-east London earlier on Wednesday which is believed to involve the same suspect
- Police say they’re working with the security services and “one of the lines of inquiry is whether this attack was deliberately targeting the Jewish community in London”
- “It’s just one after another,” one member of a Jewish security group tells the BBC. “What’s going on? How much more can we take?”
