Shomrim reported two people were stabbed and are being treated by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service.
The incident comes in the wake of a series of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites in north London.
In a post on X, Jewish charity the Community Security Trust added: “There has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested. We would like to thank @shomrimlondon, @Hatzola and @metpoliceuk for their swift response.
“We are working closely with the police and urge anyone with information to contact the police, Shomrim and CST immediately.”
The Board of Deputies of British Jews added: “We are aware of a reported stabbing incident in Golders Green, with two injured. The police have apprehended a suspect.
“We are liaising with the CST, Government and police to understand what has happened and ensure a forceful response.”
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp described the stabbings as “yet another appalling antisemitic attack”.
In a post on X, he said: “This is yet another appalling antisemitic attack. The Jewish community are not being properly protected from this hate.
“We have seen Iran sponsoring antisemitic attacks and Islamist extremism run rampant. The Government must urgently step up tangible actions against antisemitism, Iran and Islamist extremism.”
