Golders Green stabbing suspect was referred to government's counter-terrorism programme | BBC News

The suspect in the Golders Green stabbings was referred to the UK government's counter-terrorism Prevent programme in 2020, it has emerged.

This comes as two Jewish men, 34-year-old Shloime Rand and 76-year-old Moshe Shine, were attacked in London on Wednesday, which police are treating as a terrorist incident

The programme is a key part of the UK's counter-terror strategy, and places a legal duty on public bodies to identify people who may turn to extremism.

However, the Metropolitan Police also said they “will not be providing any further information in respect of this matter at this time”.
