Police still hunting violent racist filmed abusing Jewish passenger on London bus

The police are still searching for the man who spewed appalling racist abuse at a Jewish passenger on a bus last month.

He was filmed yelling *“‘F****** murderers, f****** Jews… you’re the f****** devil”, before violently attacking the victim with a long yellow pole.

The incident occurred on Thursday 11 May, on a bus along the 253-route between Finsbury Park and Stamford Hill. A report was made to Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shromrim in Stamford Hill.

Shomrim has since shared the email update it received from police with Jewish News: “The male in question has tapped on with an unregistered pre pay Oyster card so I can’t get his name and address from TFL. I have looked at his travel history and he seems to be transient and does not appear to return to the same place every evening.

“He also tops his card up at many different locations. At this point in time I haven’t managed to get a name for him. I have circulated his image on the police website and am hopeful that a police officer will know who he is but until I get a name I cannot progress the case.”

Dave Rich, director of policy at CST told Jewish News: “This was a particularly nasty and frightening incident for those involved, and the police need the public’s assistance in tracking down the perpetrator. We urge anybody with any information that might assist to contact the police or CST to help identify him before he does it again.”

The investigation is ongoing.
