May 1 (UPI) -- Authorities in Britain on Friday charged a 45-year-old man with attempted murder in the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green and a third, previously undisclosed, victim in Southwark.
London's Metropolitan Police announced the three counts of attempted murder against Essa Suleiman in a statement. The Somalia-born British national also faces an additional count of possession of a bladed article in a public place stemming from the Golders Green attack.
"We are determined to get justice for the victims and now that a person has been charged, I would urge everyone to avoid any further speculation in relation to this case so that justice can run its course," Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said.
Authorities accuse Suleiman of stabbing the two Jewish men, ages 76 and 34, in north London's Golders Green neighborhood before noon Wednesday, and a third person about two hours earlier.
According to the statement from the Metropolitan Police, Suleiman is accused of attacking an unidentified person at a Great Dover Street residence at about 8:50 a.m. local time.
