And it’s not one attack, it’s multiple attacks.’\n\nA further £25 million will be invested to increase security for Jewish communities following calls for urgent action and accusations the Government has not done enough to tackle antisemitism.\n\nThe funding will be aimed at boosting police patrols and protections around synagogues, schools and community centres.\n\n##  Sign up for all of the latest stories\n\nStart your day informed with Metro's **News Updates** newsletter or get **Breaking News** alerts the moment it happens.\n\nTo view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvideo\n\nUp Next\n\nPrevious Page\n\nNext Page\n\nMembers of the community watch as forensic officers search the area after two people were stabbed in the Golders Green neighbourhood (Picture: AP)\n\nLegislation creating proscription-like powers to pursue people and organisations acting on behalf of malign state-sponsored groups will also be ‘fast-tracked’ in the coming weeks, ministers said.\n\nIn October, an attacker drove his car into pedestrians and worshippers at Heaten Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester.\n\nAdrian Daulby, 53, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died from multiple stab wounds inflicted by Jihad Al-Shamie.\n\nThere has also been a spate of attacks across London over the last few months, with state-sponsored groups suspected of being involved.\n\nHome secretary Shabana Mahmood said she is treating the attacks ‘as an emergency’.\n\nShe signalled she would consider banning the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an Iranian military group, as she faced questions about the new laws.\n\nMr Rand, the younger victim of Wednesday’s attack, told ITV: ‘People are really afraid, people are uncomfortable walking in the streets.\n\n‘People are blaming obviously the Government. You know they aren’t doing anything about what’s going on for the past few months.’\n\n******Get in touch with our news team by emailing us atwebnews@metro.co.uk.******\n\n**For more stories like this,** check our news page.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
