Cavan Medlock, a 32-year-old from Harrow, aimed to intimidate immigrants through a planned attack on solicitor Toufique Hossain, motivated by extreme right-wing ideology.
Medlock's attack involved a combat knife and was intended as a rallying cry for other extremists. Despite the violent confrontation, he was ultimately restrained.
Metropolitan police investigation revealed that Medlock meticulously planned the incident, targeting Hossain after reading a quote from him in an article.
Acting Cmdr Flanagan emphasized Medlock's intention was to instill fear in the public, particularly towards immigrants, showcasing a growing concern of far-right terrorism.
