Shomrim, the Jewish neighborhood watch group, said it detained a man running down the high street with a knife who was “attempting to stab Jewish members of the public.”
“Police attended and deployed a taser,” Shomrim said in a post on X. The victims were treated by Hatzola, a Jewish voluntary ambulance service, it added.
Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor, confirmed police made an arrest following the “appalling attack,” and said the Met have now stepped up “high visibility” patrols in the area.
“London’s Jewish community have been the target of a series of shocking antisemitic attacks. There must be absolutely no place for antisemitism in society,” Khan added.
In the House of Commons, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the attack is “deeply concerning.”
“We all need to do everything we can to support that investigation and be absolutely clear in our determination to deal with any of these offenses, the like of which we’ve seen too much recently,” he added.
Wednesday’s Golders Green stabbing marks the latest attack on Jewish communities in the capital since the start of 2026.
