A bus stop in one of the UK’s most Jewish neighbourhoods has been defaced with antisemitic graffiti, including the words “too many Yids – f*** off”.

The graffiti, which was found in the Amhurst Park area of Stamford Hill, north-east London, was publicised by the Shomrim Jewish neighbourhood watch group.

According to a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police: “Police in Hackney were informed via social media @MetCC [the twitter account for the Metropolitan Police Contact Centre] of antisemitic graffiti on a bus stop in Amhurst Park, N16 at 18:26hrs on Tuesday, 22 August.

“The local policing team are working to capture the images and remove the graffiti in partnership with the local authority.”
