British Prime Minister Stammer said on the 29th that he had chaired an emergency meeting of the British government's Committee for Emergency Affairs and would convene a meeting of criminal justice agencies on the 30th to ensure that the knife attack in the Golders Green area of London is effectively and rapidly dealt with. Stammer stated that this incident is not an isolated one, but the latest in a series of attacks targeting the Jewish community in recent times. The British police have classified the attack as a "terrorist incident." British Chief Counter-Terrorism Officer Lawrence Taylor said the incident occurred around 11:16 a.m. that day, with two men aged 76 and 34 injured and taken to hospital, and a 45-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The case is being led by the British Counter-Terrorism Police. London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said the suspect has a history of serious violence and mental health issues.
