UK police arrest man after two stabbed in London's Jewish area

British police arrested a man after two people were stabbed in an area of north London with a large Jewish population, a community organisation said on Wednesday.

The Jewish organisation, Shomrim, said on X that a man was seen running with a knife in Golders Green and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public, before its officers detained him.

Police used a taser to stop him, the group added.

London's Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the House of Commons the incident was "deeply concerning".

Pictures from the scene posted online showed the emergency services standing over what appeared to be a victim lying on the street. Shomrim said that the two victims stabbed were being treated.

Over the last month, London police have arrested more than two dozen people as part of investigations into attacks on Jewish-linked premises.
