Polish man and woman arrested for allegedly punching and pushing Jewish people near a synagogue

London – A man and woman, both described as Polish
and middle-aged, were arrested yesterday evening on Clapton Common in London
after allegedly attacking Jewish people near a local synagogue. The couple, who
had a dog, allegedly approached Jewish people, banging on a car, pushing two
people and punching another in the face, shouting “Kurwa” (a Polish expletive)
and telling them in broken English: “Dog stay here England, you Jews go away.”

 

Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish neighbourhood watch
patrol was called and followed the assailants to Clapton Common where they were
arrested on suspicion of common assault and racially aggravated public order
offences.
