British police on Friday said they had charged a 45-year-old man with two counts of attempted murder following an antisemitic attack during which two men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, earlier in the week.
Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, following the attack, officials raised the national terrorism threat to its second-highest level, meaning a terrorist attack within the next six months is highly likely, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed stronger action to protect Jewish people.
Police said Essa Suleiman was charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article in a public place in relation to the attack. He was also charged with attempted murder in relation to a separate incident earlier on the same day in south London.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later on Friday.
One of the victims of the stabbing incident, a 34-year-old, has since been released from hospital while the 76-year-old victim remains in a stable condition, police said.
