Two Jewish men were stabbed and injured in Golders Green, London, on Wednesday. Police declared the incident a terrorist attack and a 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Shomrim volunteers were dispatched to the scene after a hotline report. The victims’ ages are reported as 34 and 76, with hospital treatment specified. The framing across BBC News, Associated Press, and France 24 consistently labels the act as terrorism and notes the arrest, though early wording varied on whether the incident was declared terrorist immediately or later by authorities.
