Shomrim, London’s Jewish neighbourhood watch patrol, witnessed a burglary this afternoon and called the police. Whilst assisting the victim, a passerby shouted at Shomrim’s volunteers: “F***ing Jewish scum. Why do you keep calling them [the police], because he’s Muslim?”
The “Muslim” in question was the victim, who Shomrim and the Police were assisting, not arresting. The passerby was arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence.
