Man reportedly yells that “the war in Ukraine is because of the Jews” on London Underground 

It has been reported that a man on the London Underground yelled that “the war in Ukraine is because of the Jews.”

In addition, he was also alleged to have said that “Jews control the world and the banks, they have the money.”

The suspect is believed to have boarded the Victoria Line train heading southbound at Seven Sisters and yelled the abuse in the presence of a visibly Jewish man who later stated that he felt threatened, intimidated and scared.

The incident took place at 10:16 on 1st June and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
