“F***ing Jew, he’s a f***ing devil”: Video footage appears to show man threatening Jewish person on London bus

Newly surfaced video footage appears to show a man physically threatening a Jewish person on a London bus.

The man in the video can be seen shouting what appears to be slurs to the person recording.

At one point, the man appears to say: “You shouldn’t be in Palestine, you’re some f***ing murderers…kill people’s children.”

A few moments later, he seems to say “F***ing Jew, he’s a f***ing devil.”

As the situation progresses, the man seems to grow increasingly agitated and jabs at the person recording him with what appears to be a metal pole. 

The person recording repeatedly says “Don’t hit me” before the video abruptly ends.

The alleged incident occurred at approximately 9:00 on 11th May on the 253 bus route from Finsbury Park to Stamford Hill, and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.

If you have any more information, please contact the police on 101 or Stamford Hill Shomrim on 0300 999 0123, quoting reference number: CAD 1929/11/5/23.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over five hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than five times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.

Campaign Against Antisemitism works closely with Shomrim, with whom we have an information-sharing agreement.
