articlemain

Police have appealed for information about an antisemitic incident which took place on a busy London bus carrying Jewish schoolchildren.

The incident witnessed by JC reporter Rosa Doherty happened last Tuesday between Golders Green and Muswell Hill.

A man in his 40s was heard shouting “get the Jews off the bus, all they do is f*** us” and “I’m going to burn the bus” and “burn the Jews”.

A spokesperson for the Met said: “Officers from the Work Place Violence Unit are investigating and ask anyone who has information that may assist the inquiry to contact them.

“In particular, officers are keen to identify a man seen on CCTV travelling on the 102 bus between Golders Green and Temple Fortune.”

They have released CCTV footage of the man and appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact Detective Constable Tony Barun of the Safer Transport Command on 07801 203174.

Witnesses wishing to remain anonymous can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
