Members of the Jewish community have been urged to “remain calm” after an arson attack on a business in north London, which police acknowledged had “similarities” with other recent attacks on a nearby synagogue and a Jewish ambulance charity.
The Metropolitan Police said that a man was seen to approach a row of shops in Hendon with a plastic bag containing three bottles of liquid on Friday evening. He tried to set the items in the bag alight, but when the bottles failed to fully ignite, he fled the scene, police said.
