Toronto police 'maintaining heightened presence' after U.K. increases threat level to severe

The Toronto police service is monitoring the increase in threat level in the U.K. from substantial to severe.

The shift in the U.K. comes after a stabbing attack against two Jewish men in a London neighbourhood, previously reported on by National Post.

Acknowledging the “fear and anxiety here at home” caused by the London attack, Toronto police stated in an X post late Friday that the threat level in Canada “remains at medium” while noting that the service is “maintaining a heightened presence” in the city.
