Two Jewish men have been stabbed in Golders Green, north London - the Metropolitan Police formally declare it a terrorist incident
Police say they're working with the security services and "one of the lines of inquiry is whether this attack was deliberately targeting the Jewish community in London"
The victims, in their 70s and 30s, are in a stable condition.
The suspect, aged 45, also attempted to stab police officers. He was Tasered and has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
CCTV seemingly shows the moment before one attack. Police say they are "working to establish" the suspect's nationality and background.
"It's just one after another," one member of a Jewish security group tells the BBC. "What's going on? How much more can we take?"
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis says "words of condemnation are no longer sufficient" following this morning's attack.
"This must be a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community, every leader, and every decent person in our country," he writes on X.
"This is a hatred that we must face down together."
