Woman caught cutting ribbons that commemorate Israeli hostages
The ribbons symbolize 48 Israeli hostages held by Hamas, with about 20 believed alive, as police investigate the removal as possible hate crime or criminal damage.
- On Monday, October 6, an unidentified woman was filmed cutting down yellow ribbons tied to fence poles on Fortis Green Road in Muswell Hill, north London, outside The Pocket Park near Muswell Hill Synagogue.
- The woman said she wore a navy blue bomber jacket and carried a green, white and purple striped tote bag while saying, `I think condoning genocide is disgusting.`
- When passers-by confronted her, the footage records her using a pair of scissors to brazenly snip the memorial bands while bystanders called her a `disgusting little human being`.
- The Metropolitan Police said officers are reviewing footage to determine if offences, including hate crime or criminal damage, occurred and urged the public to call 101 quoting CAD 4948/06OCT25 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111; replacement ribbons have been placed.
- The incident occurred one day before the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attack, and the yellow ribbons are part of the Bring Them Home campaign; as of this month, 48 hostages remain in Gaza, with about 20 believed alive.
