British authorities declared the attack a terrorist incident. The police suggested they were aware of the attacker’s identity but could not verify it at that moment. Following the attack, two additional arrests were made.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, having interrupted his participation in a European summit to address the situation, pledged enhanced security measures for Jewish communities, noting rising antisemitism in the UK since the conflict escalation following Hamas’s October 7 assault on Israel.

Starmer expressed solidarity with the Jewish community, acknowledging their fears and confirming his commitment to counteract rising hatred.
