London: Hunt For ‘Knife-Wielding’ Attacker Who Told Jewish Man He Wanted To ‘Kill My First Jew’

A manhunt has been launched for a ‘knife-wielding attacker’ who allegedly beat up and threatened to kill a Jewish man inside a Marks and Spencer store in north London, The Daily Mail reports.

Metropolitan Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in relation to the racially aggravated assault, which occurred in West Hampstead on December 2.

The attacker is said to have told the victim, aged 20, that he was ‘looking for a Jew to kill’ – before following him inside the store and allegedly punching him in the head before telling him: ‘I’m not going away until your dead.’

The suspect, who spoke Arabic and also had an east London accent, is described as being black and possibly of Somali ethnicity, aged between 25 and 30 and measuring between 6’0′ and 6’1′ in height.

The assailant is said to have told the victim that he wanted to ‘kill my first Jew’, before chasing him around the store and beating him during the terrifying ordeal.

The incident was described by Home Secretary Priti Patel as ‘seriously disturbing’.

She said in a tweet: ‘Seriously disturbing antisemitic incident in north London. I will remain in close contact with @metpoliceuk and @CST-UK as the investigation progresses and I would urge anyone with info to contact the police immediately.’ Read more at The Daily Mail.
