A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said detectives are keeping an open mind about the stabbings.
But she added that the attacks, were not being treated as faith hate crimes.
Officers discovered a 47-year-old man with wounds to the arm and chest in The Drive, a short distance from Brent Cross Tube station.
The victim was getting into his silver Volvo estate car when he was stabbed by a man who stole his car.
While at the scene, police were alerted to a second stabbing victim in nearby Beverley Gardens. A 43-year-old victim was taken by ambulance to hospital.
The condition of both men was described as stable. The stolen car was later found abandoned in Cricklewood. [PA]

what’s an estate car?
woa this is not good, in our back yard. Sounds like petty/drug crime and not necessarily anti-Jewish.
The Second man was answering a Hatzola call about the first man. The mugger was on the run, after stabbing the first man, and stabbed the second to use his car to get away. Hatzola were there in 30 seconds and the police took 12 minutes to come!
BH I hear both men are stable.
