British police have arrested a man after two people were stabbed in Golders Green, an area of north London with a large Jewish population, the Times newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Golders Green is home to a large Jewish community, and there is a substantial Iranian diaspora living nearby in north London.
Shomrim, a Jewish security organisation, said on X that a man was seen running with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public, before its officers detained him.
Police then attended and deployed a taser, the group added. The Metropolitan Police in London has not immediately commented on the incident.
Over the last month, counter-terrorism officers have arrested more than two dozen people as part of investigations into attacks on Jewish-linked premises.
The stabbing attack came as the British police were investigating a suspected arson attack on a London memorial wall on Tuesday. The wall currently commemorates Iranians killed in anti-government protests in Iran.
The Metropolitan Police said the arson attack in Golders Green took place shortly after midnight on Monday and did not damage the wall itself.
