Fire Hits Jewish Ambulance Vehicles in London

London, United KingdomMon Mar 23 2026
Police are probing a hate crime after two cars owned by a Jewish ambulance group caught fire early Monday. The blaze erupted in Golders Green, an area known for its sizeable Jewish community. Responding officers found the vehicles charred and the scene surrounded by smoke, but thankfully no one was hurt. Witnesses say a lone individual set the cars ablaze with an incendiary device. The suspect is believed to have left the scene before authorities arrived, so investigators are combing through surveillance footage and interviewing residents for clues. The incident raises concerns about rising antisemitic incidents in the city.
The ambulance service, which provides emergency medical care to the local population, has issued a statement expressing shock and reaffirming its commitment to serving all residents. Community leaders called for unity and urged people to report any suspicious activity. London police have intensified patrols in neighborhoods with high Jewish populations and are asking anyone who saw something unusual on Monday morning to come forward. They stress that vigilance is key in preventing future attacks.
