On the 29th, a stabbing incident occurred in the Golders Green area of London, UK, resulting in two people being injured. Police have classified the event as a 'terrorist incident.' A group named 'Right-Hand People's Islamic Movement' (HAYI) claimed responsibility for the attack on social media.
UK Prime Minister Starmer expressed deep concern over the incident, noting that similar cases have occurred repeatedly in recent times.
He said he has convened a meeting of the UK Government Emergency Committee and will call for a meeting with criminal justice institutions on the 30th to ensure that the knife terrorist attack in London's Golders Green area is handled efficiently and swiftly.
He stated that this incident is not isolated, but rather the latest in a recent series of attacks targeting the Jewish community.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying that King Charles III of the United Kingdom, currently on a state visit to the United States, is deeply concerned about the incident.
Both Charles III and Starmer have condemned the occurrence of this incident.
At present, police have classified the attack as a 'terrorist incident.'
Britain's top counter-terrorism officer, Taylor, stated that the incident occurred at around 11:16 am on the same day. Two men, aged 76 and 34, were injured and taken to hospital. A 45-year-old man (a British citizen born in Somalia) was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and the case is being led by Britain's counter-terrorism police.
London Police Commissioner Rowley stated that the suspect has a history of serious violence and mental health issues.
According to a British Jewish community volunteer organization, a man was seen running with a knife on Golders Green Road in the area, attempting to stab Jewish people.
Members of the organization immediately moved in to restrain the man. Police, upon arrival, used a taser to subdue and arrest him.
Recently, there have been multiple attacks against Jewish facilities in London. On the 19th of this month, a synagogue in Harrow, London, was attacked with incendiary devices. Two suspects, aged 17 and 19, were arrested. On the same day, a fire occurred outside a residential building in an area with a large Jewish population, and police are treating it as an arson case.
