“Go back to Stamford Hill, trouble makers”: Jewish family harassed on London bus
A Jewish family was harassed on a London bus when a man told them to “Go back to Stamford Hill.”
The man who reportedly accosted the mother, fourteen-year-old girl and baby is said to be a white man of Irish descent.
He was also alleged to have said “You’re only here because of the Irish,” before reportedly getting close to the fourteen-year-old and saying “I love you”.
According to the woman, who is understood to be distraught following the incident, the bus driver did not intervene despite fellow passengers shouting to him to stop the bus.
The incident took place after the family boarded the 67 bus at the Brampton Park stop at 14:00 on 7th December and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
