Officials in the UK raised the national terrorism threat to its second-highest level following an attack on Wednesday in which two Jewish men were stabbed in north London and another man was separately attacked.
A 45-year-old man appeared in court on Friday on a charge of attempted murder over the attack in Golders Green, an area with a large Jewish population, in what officers have called a suspected terrorist incident.
