LONDON, May 1 (Reuters) - A 45-year-old man appeared in a London court on Friday charged with attempted murder over an attack during which two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, in what police are treating as a terrorist incident.
In its wake, government officials raised the national terrorism threat to its second-highest level, meaning a terrorist attack is highly likely within the next six months.
The stabbings, on Wednesday, followed a spate of incidents targeting Jewish premises in the same area of north London, home to a large Jewish population, prompting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to vow stronger action to protect Jewish people.
Pro-Palestinian marches - which critics say have encouraged antisemitism - could now face new restrictions amid widespread calls for more protection for Britain’s small Jewish community of about 290,000.
Next Court Appearance On May 15
