Zack Polanski’s criticism of Golders Green attack arrest will have ‘chilling effect’, says Met chief

Mark Rowley defends officers who arrested suspect in Wednesday’s incident and calls on Green party leader to show solidarity

The Metropolitan police chief has said that Green party leader Zack Polanski sharing a post about the arrest of the Golders Green terror suspect will have a “chilling effect”.

Met officers arrested a 45-year-old man after two Jewish people were stabbed in the suburb of north-west London on Wednesday. Police said the suspect was shot with a stun gun to subdue him.
