A man has been arrested after two people were stabbed in Golders Green, north-west London, the Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim has said. The man was seen running along Golders Green Road armed with a knife and "attempting to stab Jewish members of the public", Shomrim said on social media. He was detained by members of the group before police officers used a stun gun on him and arrested him, the group said. Shomrim said the two people stabbed were being treated by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service. The incident comes after a series of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites in north London. In a post on social media the Jewish charity the Community Security Trust said: "There has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested. We would like to thank @shomrimlondon, @Hatzola and @metpoliceuk for their swift response.
