The stabbing, which left two Jewish men hospitalized but in stable condition, comes after a string of antisemitic incidents in the UK, including a number of arson attacks on Jewish targets across London.

Two men were injured in a knife attack in London's Golders Green, a neighborhood with a large Jewish community.

Witnesses say the suspect stabbed one man outside a synagogue before attacking another on a nearby street.

Police arrested a 45-year-old man after he allegedly turned his weapon on officers.

Counterterrorism police have declared the incident a terrorist attack amid rising antisemitic violence in the UK.
