“We will punch your face, f***ing Jewish c**t”: Bus driver reportedly ignores visibly Jewish woman being abused by two women

It has been reported that the driver of a London bus ignored two women racially abusing a visibly Jewish woman on the bus.

The driver is understood to have been in close proximity to the incident as it was occurring but allegedly did nothing to help. The Jewish woman was reportedly threatened by two women who told her that “Jewish people are so cheap”, before adding: “We will punch your face, f***ing Jewish c**t.”

The two women reportedly also said to the Jewish woman: “You wear wigs because Jewish women shave their hair. Let’s try to pull it off!” 

The victim is reportedly a visibly Jewish woman, aged twenty. The suspects are believed to be two black women aged between twenty and 25 years.

Campaign Against Antisemitism understands that the incident took place on either a 253 or 254 bus on Wednesday, and the victim would have boarded the bus at some time between 21:54 and 22:06 at the Rosingdale Street, E5 bus stop. Both the victim and the suspects reportedly left the bus at Stamford Hill Broadway.

The incident was reported today at around 12:56 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 6797 23/12/21
