British prosecutors have charged an 18-year-old man with assisting an offender in connection with an arson attack in March on Jewish volunteer-run ambulances that were parked outside a synagogue in north London, the Crown Prosecution Service says.

The police say he was the fifth person charged in relation to what Prime Minister Keir Starmer had called a “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.”
