Jewish men stabbed in London Golders Green attack

Two Jewish men, aged 76 and 34, were stabbed in the Golders Green area of north London in an attack police classified as terrorism. Essa Suleiman, 45, a Somalia-born British citizen, was charged with two counts of attempted murder in connection with the attack, as well as a third count related to a separate incident earlier the same day in south London. Following the attack, the UK raised its national terrorism threat level from substantial to severe, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged increased security measures for the Jewish community.
