Man charged with attempted murder after two Jewish men stabbed in London

A man has been charged with attempted murder after two Jewish men were stabbed in London in what police described as a terrorist incident.

The two men aged 76 and 34 were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday.

On Friday morning, Essa Suleiman was charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article in a public place in relation to the attack, police said.

The 45-year-old, from Camberwell in south London, was also charged with attempted murder in connection with a separate incident on the same day, just south of Tower Bridge several miles away.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

Both victims in the Golders Green attack were treated in hospital after the stabbing. The 34-year-old has since been released while the 76-year-old remains there in a stable condition, police said.

Police declared the attack a terrorist incident and said a counterterrorism probe remains ongoing.
