UK Threat Level Raised After Golders Green Terror Attack
Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has written to Green Party leader Zack Polanski, defending officers who Tasered and restrained a knife-wielding man during Wednesday's terror attack in Golders Green. Polanski had shared a post calling the police response violent. Rowley called the officers "extraordinary" and said the post was "inaccurate and misinformed." The UK threat level has since been raised to severe.
