“The beast will come for you people soon”: Verbal abuse reportedly hurled at Jewish people in London

Video footage has shown what appears to be a torrent of verbal abuse being hurled at Jewish people at the Park Avenue Hotel in Clapton Common, near Stamford Hill.

The video shows a woman seemingly telling the person recording that “The beast will come for you people soon”, quoting the number “666”, known as the mark of the devil.

In another clip, the person in the video, who was later apprehended by the police, seems to yell: “F*** off.”

The alleged incident occurred yesterday and was 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: CAD 3631 08/05/23.

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.
