Police declare terrorist incident after two Jewish men stabbed in London
"The two men, aged 76 and 34, were treated at the scene and are now in a stable condition in hospital, the Metropolitan Police said."
"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the 'antisemitic attack' - the latest in a string in the UK - was 'utterly appalling', adding: 'Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.'"
"The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat, adding that the suspect 'continued to try to attack and stab' the officers as they were detaining him."
"Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley paid tribute to the officers' courage, saying: 'These were not armed officers and they feared he was carrying an explosive device.'"
