Terror Threat Escalates in UK: Charges Filed in Golders Green Stabbing

The UK Metropolitan Police have charged Essa Suleiman, 45, with attempted murder following a counter-terrorism investigation into a stabbing attack in Golders Green, where two men were wounded. Consequent to this attack, Britain's terrorism threat level has been elevated to 'severe'.

The UK Metropolitan Police announced on Friday the charging of a 45-year-old man in connection with a counter-terrorism investigation into a stabbing incident in Golders Green.

Essa Suleiman faces two counts of attempted murder and one count of possessing a bladed article in a public venue, following the attack where two men were injured.

The incident has prompted Britain to raise its national terrorism threat level from 'substantial' to 'severe', in response to the antisemitic nature of the assault in north London.
