“Hitler should have killed all you Jews, I will be back”: Elderly Jewish staff member reportedly faces antisemitic abuse in North London kosher supermarket
A man is alleged to have hurled antisemitic abuse at a Jewish member of staff in a kosher supermarket in North London.
The incident unfolded after a man, described as being of Asian descent, attempted to purchase a drink but was unable to do so after his bank card was declined. Upon being informed of this by the member of staff, the man then reportedly opened the drink and placed it back down on the counter, before picking it up again and walking off with the drink.
The man is also accused of telling the woman: “Hitler should have killed all you Jews. I will be back.”
The victim, reported to be an elderly woman, is said to be in a state of shock.
The incident took place yesterday in the ‘Egg Stores’ supermarket in Stamford Hill and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
