A 45-year-old man, Essa Suleiman, appeared in Westminster Magistrates' Court on three counts of attempted murder after a stabbing spree in Golders Green, north London. Court documents say he was living in a home for people who leave secure hospital before stabbings.
Two Jewish men were attacked: Shloime Rand, 34, who survived the assault and expressed relief at still being alive, and Moshe Shine, 76. The incident took place in north London, and Rand's account highlighted the shock and relief felt by the local community after the violence.
