"One of the lines of inquiry is whether this attack was targeted at the Jewish community in London," Taylor said. Prime Minister Keir Starmer had previously written about an anti-Semitic attack on the X platform.
According to the police, the two victims are two men, one of whom is between 30 and 40, the other between 70 and 80 years old. Both are in hospital and in a stable condition.
