Somali-born British national Essa Suleiman has been charged with attempted murder after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green on Wednesday.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the 45-year-old suspect has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article in a public place following Wednesday’s incident.
Mr Suleiman was also charged with a separate count of attempted murder after an incident was reported in Great Dover Street, Southwark, just hours before the incident in Golders Green.
He will now appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later today, the Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed.
The Somali-born British national was charged in connection with an attack against two men in North London.
Two Jewish men – aged 76 and 34 – were treated on Highfield Avenue in Golders Green for stab wounds.
The 34-year-old man has since been released from hospital, while the 76-year-old remains there in a stable condition.
