London police acknowledge stabbing in Golders Green was terrorist attack

For once, the UK police admitted what appears to be a jihadist attack in London was an act of terrorism:

A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly running amok in a prominent London Jewish neighbourhood, stabbing two men, in what police are now calling a terrorist incident.

Two men were rushed to hospital on Wednesday morning after being stabbed by a knifeman in the Golders Green area of North London. Both victims were seriously injured but are in stable condition.

The first attack took place outside the Hager’s Shul synagogue, where a 34-year-old Jewish man who had just walked out of the building was set upon and repeatedly stabbed. Security footage from outside the synagogue shows the moment the assailant affects casually walking along the street before suddenly lunging at a man in the process of adjusting his hat, giving the victim no time to react or protect himself.

Shortly after, it is said the assailant struck again further up the road, stabbing a 76-year-old man. Coincidentally, walking between the locations of the two attacks took the assailant past the front doors of the North London Hatzola, a Jewish ambulance charity, which was the site of an antisemitic arson attack last month.

After the two stabbings, the alleged suspect then clashed with Shomrim — a Jewish community security charity active in north London — and police before being arrested. Footage from the scene of the arrest, itself just 300 yards away from where the Hatzolah ambulances were burnt out in March, officers can be seen running with the suspect away from the North Circular road, and employing their ‘tazer’ stun-guns.

Eventually the suspect, an apparently robustly-built African-heritage male wearing light coloured clothes under a navy blue jacket, falls, and is kicked in the head by an officer several times as he resists arrest. A Shomrim volunteer can be seen sitting on the suspect’s legs as officers wrestle the man into cuffs.

The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that “The suspect also attempted to stab police officers, and was Tasered before being arrested. No officers were injured.”

Counter terror police quickly took over investigation into the case, and shortly afterwards it was declared a suspected terrorist incident.

One of the worst things about these incidents is that bans on gun ownership in Britain remain in effect, and even the Israeli government expects the UK's to deal with everything. If there is something they should be dealing with, it's deporting Islamofascists and to stop letting them into the country on a whim. But they won't, and it doesn't sound like the Israeli government called for them to do that either. So how does anybody expect to solve the crisis? It also clearly doesn't help that the former management of a synagogue elsewhere in London sold it to a Muslim group, and that some Jewish "leaders" have repeatedly retained contact with Islamists at - but not limited to - the expense of their own Jewish congregations. Are they going to make necessary changes or not?
