Two Jewish men stabbed in London, police treat attack as terrorism
Counterterror officers are investigating possible links to recent attacks on Jewish sites as the two victims remain in stable condition, police said.
- On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, a 45-year-old man stabbed two Jewish men in Golders Green, a north London neighborhood. Members of Shomrim, a Jewish volunteer security group, detained the suspect before police tasered and arrested him on suspicion of attempted murder.
- The stabbing follows a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites in recent weeks, including four Hatzola ambulances set ablaze in Golders Green in late March. These prior incidents heightened community fears and security concerns across the area.
- Two victims, aged 76 and 34, remain hospitalized in stable condition after treatment by Hatzola at the scene. Counter Terrorism Policing is leading the investigation to establish the suspect's background and any links to terrorism.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack as "utterly appalling," stating "attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain." Police have increased high-visibility patrols in the area to reassure residents following the incident.
- Antisemitic incidents across the UK have surged since October 7, 2023, with the Community Security Trust recording 3,700 incidents in 2025. Authorities are investigating potential links between this stabbing and recent arson attacks targeting Jewish sites.
