The 22-year-old is alleged to have made threats to kill members of the public

A man has been bailed following an antisemitic incident which took place in Haringey last week.

Police were called on Wednesday, 15th November at around 6.08pm to reports of a man spitting and shouting antisemitic slurs at Jewish members of the public in a shop on High Road, Stamford Hill (South Tottenham).

A 22-year-old man is alleged to have made threats to kill those present while expressing support for Palestine.

The man was arrested by Metropolitan Police on suspicion of making threats to kill and committing a racially aggravated Public Order Act offence.

While the man was in police custody, he was further arrested for racist and homophobic remarks made towards an officer.

He has been bailed pending further enquiries.

Police report 386 arrests have been made in connection with the Israel-Gaza conflict since the Hamas’ attack on 7th October – 253 during protests or public gatherings, and 125 in communities, relating to hate crime.

Detective chief superintendent Gareth Rees, head of operations in the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “We continue to make arrests as part of our ongoing investigations into real-world and online offending linked to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

“We are clear that where we identify anyone involved with or committing potential terrorism offences, then they will be investigated, and we will take the necessary action.”
