Knife Attack Suspect Pleads Not Guilty
25 Sep
Summary
- A 45-year-old man pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges.
- Two Jewish men were stabbed in north London in April.
- Police no longer investigating the stabbings as terrorism.

In London's Old Bailey court on Friday, a 45-year-old British national pleaded not guilty to serious charges including attempted murder. The plea relates to a knife attack that occurred on April 29, where two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London.
This incident took place amidst a series of attacks on Jewish premises in the same area. Law enforcement had initially considered the possibility of a terrorist motive. However, the Crown Prosecution Service has since stated that there is insufficient evidence to support a terrorism connection.
The suspect, who was born in Somalia, also denied a separate charge concerning an unconnected incident that took place earlier on the same day as the stabbings. The court proceedings are ongoing.
