A man has been charged with five offences after allegedly assaulting Jewish people in Enfield on Saturday.
The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on Southbury Road. Three people, two men, aged 58 and 26, and a woman, aged 53, sustained injuries, according to the Metropolitan Police, but none required medical attention.
A man in his 30s was subsequently arrested, taken into custody, and charged on Sunday with assault, racially or religiously aggravated assault, threatening or abusive behaviour to cause fear or provoke violence, racially or religiously aggravated harassment and threatening or abusive behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
He has been remanded in custody to appear at Highbury Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 11 May.
Detective Superintendent Marco Bardetti, who oversees policing in Enfield and Haringey, said: “The Met has made it abundantly clear that we treat reports of alleged antisemitic hate crime with the utmost seriousness and diligence, as demonstrated by the swift arrest and charge following this incident.
“We will continue working closely with Jewish communities across London to provide reassurance and ensure people feel safe in their daily lives.”
The charge comes a day after a string of separate alleged assaults in Stamford Hill on the same day.
The first saw a man was arrested after allegedly whipping visibly orthodox women, shouting racial abuse, and spitting at a Shomrim volunteer at a bus stop. He has since been charged.
The other alleged assault occurred three hours later outside a boy's school, where a woman reportedly punched a child while she racially abused him.
The police have been contacted for comment on all three incidents.
