Man reportedly asks Jewish woman “Why didn’t Hitler kill you?” in East London

A man has reportedly verbally assaulted a Jewish woman in East London.

The suspect, who is reported to have previously attacked Jews in synagogues and shops, allegedly said to the woman: “Why didn’t Hitler kill you? Do you still exist? Shame Hitler didn’t kill you.”

The alleged incident occurred on Amhurst Road in East London and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
