A Jewish passenger on a London, England bus was assaulted verbally and physically on Friday morning by a man wielding a long yellow pole, according to disturbing video footage posted to social media by Stamford Hill Shomrim.
Besides the Jewish passenger, who filmed the incident, the assailant also directed antisemitic abuse at other Jews on the bus, according to Shomrim.
“We're seeking information on a reported hate crime that occurred at approximately 9am this morning on the 253 bus route, Finsbury Park to Stamford Hill. A male suspect targeted Jewish passengers, using racial slurs,” they tweeted.
Calling for any witnesses to come forward, they added: “Any details, no matter how small, could assist in identifying the individual seen in the attached video. Your help is crucial. Together, we can fight against hate.”
In the video, the assailant goes on an antisemitic rant, full of multiple expletives, calling Jews “f***ing devils” and telling the Jewish passenger filming, “That's where you come from, you shouldn't be in Palestine, you're some [expletive] murderers. Kill children... you enslaved black people for 500 years. Jew.”
The man then repeatedly accuses Jews of being “devils” and continuing to loudly use profanity, tells the Jewish passenger that “Israeli people are dead in a bloodclart.”
