Counter Terrorism Police investigating the Golders Green stabbing say they are searching an address in south-east London after it was reported the suspect had been involved in a prior “altercation” with another person.
Two Jewish men – aged 76 and 34 – were taken to hospital after being stabbed in the north London suburb on Wednesday, in what has been declared a terrorist incident.
Scotland Yard said the 45-year-old suspect is a British national, born in Somalia.
Officers are searching an address in south-east London, and detectives are investigating another incident reported to police earlier on Wednesday, the force said.
The Met said: “It is believed that the suspect in this incident is the same individual arrested in Golders Green.
“Police were called at approximately 8.50am on April 29 to an incident at an address in Great Dover Street, SE1.
“The suspect who is reported to have been armed with a knife, is believed to have had an altercation with the occupant before leaving.
“The occupant received minor injuries and police arrived within around six minutes of being called. Officers carried out searches in the local area for the suspect, but he was not located.
“Officers also carried out inquiries to locate the man at an address connected to the suspect, but again, he was not located.”
