Anti-Semitic attacks are out of control in the UK, Israel has said after two Jewish men were stabbed in a terror attack in Golders Green.
The Israeli foreign ministry said Sir Keir Starmer’s words were “no substitute for confronting the roots of anti-Semitism” after the men, aged 76 and 34, were stabbed as they walked near a synagogue on Wednesday morning. The victims were taken to hospital and were in a stable condition.
Footage of the moment the attacker struck showed one ultra-Orthodox Jewish man running for his life and screaming for help, while a second victim was stabbed shortly after putting on his skull cap as he waited at a bus stop.
The 45-year-old suspect, who was challenged by members of the local Shomrim security team, was Tasered and arrested by Met Police officers, who believed he might be carrying an explosive device. He is a British national born in Somalia.
