UK Metropolitan Police says it has charged a 45-year-old man following a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation into an attack during which two men were stabbed in Golders Green.

Essa Suleiman has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article in a public place in relation to the attack, the police say.

Suleiman is due to make his first court appearance later today.

Britain yesterday raised its national terrorism threat level to “severe” from “substantial,” after the antisemitic stabbing attack in north London.
