The head of the force said the suspect has a history of violence and mental health issues. The 45-year-old was Tasered and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The two men who were stabbed, aged 76 and 34, are both in stable conditions. Video captures how the attack unfolded - you can watch that here. A member of a Jewish security group told the BBC they were first on the scene and described what happened. Wednesday's attack comes just weeks after ambulances belonging to a Jewish medical charity were set on fire nearby. "What's going on?" Ben Grossnass asked.

| | | Will Mexico City's airport be ready for the World Cup? | | | Work has been underway at the airport since last summer. Credit: Getty Images | | With the 2026 World Cup just weeks away, Mexico City is finishing significant renovations at its main airport. Work is underway to modernise ageing infrastructure and increase its capacity ahead of the opening match of the tournament in the capital. However, logistical challenges and budget constraints have caused delays, putting crews in a race against time to complete the work. | | | | | | Will Grant, Central America and Cuba correspondent | | | | | | Benito Juárez International Airport has long been a problem. As recently as this year, users filmed rainwater pouring into the concourse. "An airport is supposed to be the first image of a country, and here you take a long time to collect your suitcases. You take a long time to transfer to your destination. It's very frustrating," says traveller Jaime Batiz.
The airport handled around 45 million passengers last year, and an extra 800,000 visitors are expected to come to the Mexican capital for the World Cup. A massive $420m (£312m) renovation is underway and while there's plenty of confidence amongst the authorities that the work will get done on time, some users aren't so sure. "The truth is, it doesn't look like this will happen in time," says Jaime. | | | | | - US warning: Rights groups have urged visitors to the World Cup to "exercise caution" if travelling to the United States.
