London – An orthodox Jewish man walking down the street in London, England, was allegedly chased by a knife-wielding suspect who called him a “fucking Jew” as he walked to work and threatened to behead him.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that at around 10 a.m. local time on Monday a Jewish man was threatened by another man in Dunbridge Street, Whitechapel, who had a knife.
Police arrived at the scene and arrested an as yet unnamed 34-year-old man on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense. “A knife was recovered from the suspect, who remains in custody,” the police statement said.
