An arsonist allegedly set fire to a predominantly Jewish apartment building in north London’s Golders Green neighborhood early Tuesday morning, in what is believed to be the latest in a string of incidents targeting the city’s Jewish community.

According to the Jewish neighborhood watch group Shomrim, a suspect allegedly set fire to a communal stairwell in a building on Bridge Lane, where the majority of residents are Jewish and many are young families.

Residents were alerted by a fire alarm, and a resident quickly extinguished the flames before emergency services arrived, Shomrim said. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses reported seeing a suspect deliberately start the fire in the building’s communal stairwell and flee after being confronted by residents.

A photo posted on social media by Shomrim showed a baby stroller in the stairwell, apparently scorched by the flames.

Shomrim said it recovered evidence believed to belong to the suspect, and was working with Metropolitan Police to investigate the incident. There were no immediate arrests made.
