Woman charged after brandishing knife and screaming “I want to kill all you Jews”
A 47-year-old woman has been charged after allegedly brandishing a large 10-inch knife and chasing 13-15 young Jewish children who had just left a synagogue in South Tottenham in north London on Sunday evening while screaming: “I want to kill all you Jews.”
Volunteers from Stamford Hill Shomrim, a Jewish neighbourhood watch group, apprehended the woman and she was arrested by Haringey Police on Gladesmore Road.
Stamford Hill Shomrim reported that the suspect was subsequently charged with possession of a knife and a racially aggravated public order offence and remanded in custody to appear in court today.
Once again, we applaud our brave colleagues at Stamford Hill Shomrim for stepping in to protect the Jewish children and ensuring that this woman could be arrested. We thank the police for their speedy response.
