Four ambulances belonging to the Jewish community ambulance service have been set on fire in Golders Green, north London, with police saying they were treating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime.

The prime minister, Keir Starmer, denounced it as a shocking attack on London’s Jewish community, while the city’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, called it cowardly. The UK’s chief rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, described the incident as a “sickening assault – not only on the Jewish community, but on the values we share as a society”.
