The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London has arrested a Tik Tok user who filmed himself staging a series of menacing pranks against the Orthodox Jewish community.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Shomrim Stamford Hill, a Jewish community defense group, the 18 year old male went on a \u201c1 man hate spree,\u201d blocking<\/a> a car being driven by an Orthodox Jewish man, jumping<\/a> on the back of a Jewish teenager, and faking<\/a> a robbery on a Jewish man whom he accosted and told, \u201cyou\u2019re under arrest, give me what you have.\u201d He also filmed himself wearing a fedora while saying, \u201cGuys, I\u2019m a f***king Jew.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The male was arrested<\/a> on Wednesday and in is police custody.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another incident that took place on a Transportation for London (TFL) bus, a \u201cderanged male\u201d verbally abused<\/a> a Jewish mother and her three-year-old child, calling them \u201cvermin\u201d and \u201cbad people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTFL bus driver sadly took no action,\u201d Shomrim said.<\/span><\/p>\n

A group known as the \u201cWeb Estate Gang\u201d has also been harassing a Jewish family for several months, the group reported<\/a> in another update. The group of men has stolen a bicycle belonging to them, pounded on their windows and doors, and trespassed on their property.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 3,211 antisemitic hate crimes have been recorded in London since 2018, with incidents peaking in 2021, when there were 853. In Dec., incidents, of which there were 44, rose slightly from the preceding month, when there were 43.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new year has already witnessed a fresh wave of attacks on the Orthodox Jewish community in London, one of the largest in Europe. On Jan. 3, Shomrim, reported that a man entered a Jewish bakery and attempted<\/a> to assault a Jewish woman after asking, \u201cAre you Jewish?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Such crimes represented a persistent threat to quality of life throughout 2022, according to community groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

In December, a man in the Stamford Hill stalked and assaulted<\/a> an Orthodox Jewish woman. He followed her, shouting \u201cDirty Jew,\u201d and then snatched her shopping bag, \u201cspilling her shopping onto the pavement whilst laughing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In August, a woman wielding a wooden stick approached a Jewish woman near the Seven Sisters area and declared \u201cI am doing it because you are Jew,\u201d while striking her over the head<\/a> and pouring liquid on her.The next day, the same woman \u2014 described<\/a> by an eyewitness as a \u201cserial racist\u201d \u2014 chased<\/a> a mother and her baby with a wooden stick after spraying a liquid on the baby, and that same week, three people accosted a Jewish teenager and knocked his hat off his head while yelling \u201cf****** Jew.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Convictions of those who commit antisemitic hate crimes are scarce, with \u201ctoo few cases\u201d being brought before the courts, Dave Rich, Head of Policy at Community Security Trust (CST) wrote<\/a> last February.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe wheels of justice seem to be stuck,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
