A teenage male has been charged in relation to an antisemitic incident that took place on the London Underground earlier this month.

Yochai, a visibly Jewish man who has requested to keep his surname private, was subjected to anti-Jewish abuse on an escalator in Oxford Circus station.  

The researcher, who is aged in his 20s and lives in North London, was “exhausted” and on his way home from volunteering at a Chabad House Jewish community centre, when the incident took place. 

Video footage capturing the incident shows an individual chanting “I f***ing hate the Jews… we’ve got a Jew here”. 

The 17-year-old who has been charged by British Transport Police is due to appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court on 2 August.
