Police search for man who made antisemitic threats on London street

• Metropolitan Police are searching for a man who appeared in an online video threatening that "Jews gonna get beheaded" on a street in East London.
• The incident occurred on Whitechapel Road in Tower Hamlets on Friday, with officers attending the scene shortly after the video was reported.
• The Jewish community police force, Shomrim (London North & East), highlighted the "horrific" nature of the video and expressed that the Orthodox Jewish community is "exceptionally concerned" by these threats.
• The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are conducting urgent inquiries to identify the individual, emphasising that hate crime has no place in communities and such incidents are taken seriously.
• This event follows the recent announcement of 100 additional officers dedicated to protecting London's Jewish communities and a warning from Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley about a growing "pandemic" of antisemitism in the UK, alongside a series of arson attacks at Jewish sites.
