The Right Rev Dr Anderson Jeremiah, Bishop of Edmonton, said:
“I am deeply shocked and saddened that, yet again, two of our Jewish neighbours have been targeted and stabbed by an individual driven by hatred and violence. While I am immensely relieved to hear they are currently receiving medical attention, the fact that such an atrocity has occurred in our community is devastating.
“As a resident of Golders Green, I am appalled by this ongoing cycle of violence fuelled by antisemitism. Just an hour ago, I was walking down the very street where the attack took place.
“This was not just an attack on individuals, but on the safety and spirit of our entire neighbourhood. In the face of such darkness, our community must stand firm. We must respond with unwavering resilience and a commitment to the kind of love and unity that overcomes bigotry.
“My prayers are with the victims and their families, and I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community. We will not be defined by those who seek to divide us, but by our collective strength and support for one another.”
