“I will come on Shabbos when you can’t call police,” yells man while banging on doors of Jewish homes

Multiple Jewish families in Stamford Hill have been woken up early in the morning for several weeks by a man allegedly banging on their front doors.

Recently, the man was reported by the families, who live on Moresby Road, to have screamed: “I Will come on Shabbos [the Jewish Sabbath] when you can’t call police.”

Observant Orthodox Jews do not use electricity, including telephones, on the Sabbath.

The incidents have been 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: CAD366 03/03/23.

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.
