Starmer echoed the sentiment, saying on X that “attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain” while vowing “those responsible will be brought to justice”.
The UK leader will convene an emergency meeting of senior ministers and officials, according to the area’s MP, Sarah Sackman.
Charles, who is on a state visit to the United States, said he was “deeply concerned” in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace.
The stabbings come after a spate of arson attacks on synagogues and other Jewish sites in north London in recent weeks that have heightened security fears for the community.
The incident happened shortly after 11am local time, with the Shomrim Jewish neighbourhood watch group first reporting that a knife-wielding man was “attempting to stab Jewish members of the public”.
Shomrim members helped detain the suspect before police arrived and subdued him using an electroshock weapon. The response of the Jewish volunteers’ earned widespread praise.
The victims were also treated at the scene by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service.
The stabbings follow a deadly assault on a synagogue in Manchester last October on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.
Two people died and three were seriously injured, prompting increased anxiety among Jewish communities.
Khan called the spate of anti-Semitic attacks “shocking”, adding: “There must be absolutely no place for anti-Semitism in society.”
In the first London attack in late March, four ambulances belonging to Hatzola were set ablaze.
Other incidents have followed, including an attack on the Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow as well as the premises of a Jewish charity.
Last week, the Finchley Reform Synagogue was targeted.
Police have arrested at least 26 people for the various attacks, launched since the start of the US-Iran war on Iran on February 28.
