Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim has said an average of eight antisemitic incidents are reported to them a week in Stamford Hill.

The group, which patrols the area of north-east London with the largest Charedi population in Europe, said it had recorded incidents of verbal abuse, threats to kill and physical violence against Jews.

Shomrim said it had received a total of 32 antisemitic incidents over a month-long period.

In a report, compiled with the Campaign Against Antisemitism, the group said six per cent of incidents involved threats to kill.
