Man arrested after he was seen ‘attempting to stab Jewish members of the public’, says security group Shomrim
A man has been arrested after he was seen running along Golders Green Road armed with a knife and “attempting to stab Jewish members of the public”, the Jewish security group Shomrim has said on social media.
The man was detained by members of the group before police officers used a stun gun on him and arrested him, the organisation said.
Shomrim said the two people stabbed were being treated by the Jewish volunteer ambulance service Hatzola.
The scene is about half a mile from a memorial wall where an attempted arson attack took place on Monday, and near where four Jewish community ambulances were destroyed by fire in March.
