British police say that the man suspected of being involved in the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London yesterday was known to the government’s counter-radicalization Prevent program.
The 45-year-old British national, who was born in Somalia, was subject to a “Prevent” referral in 2020, which was closed in the same year, the police statement says, without elaborating.
