Man sought by police after making antisemitic threats in London
- On Friday, the Metropolitan Police launched an urgent search for a man filmed making antisemitic threats on Whitechapel Road in Tower Hamlets after officers attended the scene following the video's emergence online.
- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley previously warned of a growing "pandemic" of antisemitism in London, stating 300 extra police officers were needed across the capital to address rising threats.
- The Jewish community volunteer group Shomrim said it is "aware of the horrific video," which showed a man threatening that "Jews gonna get beheaded," and confirmed working closely with police.
- Shomrim confirmed it will be stepping up patrols until the suspect is found, while the Metropolitan Police are carrying out urgent inquiries and ask anyone with information to contact them.
- These threats follow a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites and a double stabbing in Golders Green; earlier this month, the force announced 100 additional officers would be deployed to protect London's Jewish communities.
