The Jewish community in north London has been urged to remain calm after an arson attack targeted a business with links to the community. On Friday evening, a man was seen attempting to ignite three bottles of fluid in a bag near a Hendon shop, fleeing when they did not fully ignite. Counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation into the incident, which caused only minor damage to the shopfront and no injuries.
