  • Mr Rand, speaking from his hospital bed, criticised the government for "not doing its job" in addressing antisemitism, stating the Jewish community feels unsafe.
  • A 45-year-old Somali-born British national has been arrested in connection with the incident, which occurred in an area that recently saw Jewish community ambulances destroyed by fire.
  • Sir Keir Starmer described the attack as "deeply concerning" and pledged to address the root causes of antisemitism, increase security funding for Jewish sites, and tackle "malign state actors".
  • Counter-terrorism officers are investigating, and an increased police presence, including temporary stop and search powers, has been implemented in Golders Green.
