A 17-year-old boy attacked devotees with a bladed weapon at Sri Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara in Gravesend, England, on July 11, injuring two women. The incident is being treated as "religiously aggravated" but not terrorism-related. The suspect was charged with attempted grievous bodily harm, assault, and threats to kill, among other offences. He appeared in court and was detained for a mental health assessment. The gurdwara reassured the community, confirming 'Guru Granth Sahib Ji' was not present during the attack. Police continue to patrol the area for reassurance and community engagement.
