In a horrifying attack, two Yidden were stabbed on Highfield Avenue in Golders Green, London, on Wednesday morning, by a terrorist who ran down a street targeting Yidden—the ‌latest in a spate of anti-Semitic attacks. 

The two victims, one in his 70s and one in his 30s, were both in a stable condition in hospital, the London Metropolitan Police said.

The Jewish victims “suffered stab wounds in the attack and are now being looked after in hospital,” Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations Laurence Taylor said in a statement. “Metropolitan Police officers responding to the incident were also attacked, leading to the Tasering and arrest of a 45-year-old man.”

Officers said they arrested the suspect, a British national born in Somalia, on suspicion of attempted murder, and he remains in police custody. Counter Terrorism Policing London is leading the investigation.

Earlier this week, news broke that Iran was calling on Iranian residents to register for its “Jan Fada” or “sacrificing life” scheme. The timing couldn’t be more coincidental, as a London Shul was firebombed earlier this month as well. 

Our highly specialized teams of officers are working with the Metropolitan Police to progress the investigation quickly – and establish exactly what has happened,” Taylor said. “We are also working with the security services to ensure we have a full intelligence picture. One of the lines of inquiry is whether this attack was deliberately targeting the Jewish community in London.

“I want to make it clear that Counter Terrorism Policing and police forces are mobilizing to provide additional support and reassurance, and we request that the public are vigilant and stand alongside communities who may be feeling worried this evening,” Taylor said. “Please report anything that doesn’t feel right and be alert to what is happening where you live.”

Always looking to show up late, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer—who finally pledged to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organization last week—said he was “deeply concerned about the terrorist attack that took place today.”

“This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community,” Starmer added.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog expresses fury over what he calls an “unacceptable situation” for Jews in the Western world after the attack. “I am horrified by yet another violent attack on Jews in broad daylight on the streets of London. We are praying for a speedy recovery for all those injured.”

“Let me be clear: No Jew anywhere in the world should be a target because of their faith,” Herzog said. “In one of the great capital cities of the West, it has become dangerous to openly walk the streets as a Jew. This is an unacceptable situation. The British government and authorities must take urgent and immediate action before the next antisemitic attack occurs.”
