Police are investigating an alleged antisemitic incident in which a man told a Jewish family: “Don’t come round here. Go to Stamford Hill. You’re not welcome.”
A 31-year-old Jewish man was reportedly about to travel on the Emirates Air Line cable car in east London with his family and children when the confrontation happened.
He told BBC News that his alleged abuser said to him “Jews, go back to Isra-hell”, before the later incident was captured on video.
The man, who did not wish to be named, was with his six children, aged 10, eight, seven, five, three and nine weeks.
The Metropolitan Police said: “Detectives in Newham are investigating an allegation of antisemitic abuse which was reported to police on Monday.
“The incident is said to have taken place on the same day at 17.15hrs on Western Gateway E16 near the Excel.
“No arrests have been made. Enquiries are ongoing.”
