Conservative candidate Susan Hall accused Labour incumbent Sadiq Khan of a serious failure on crime. Mr Khan said putting a Tory in charge of police would be like 'getting an arsonist to put out a fire.'
Both Mr Khan and Ms Hall vowed to tackle anti-Semitism and make Jewish people feel safer, but clashed on building homes and transportation plans. Mr Khan blamed rising crime levels on austerity measures.
Ms Hall highlighted the rise in violent crime and knife crime under Mayor Khan's reign, suggesting that without London's offenses, overall knife crime levels in England and Wales would have fallen.
Mr Khan accused his opponent of 'shirking' responsibility and failing to condemn government cuts. Ms Hall pledged to restore borough-based policing, recruit more officers, and add new police 'bases' to every borough.
