A North London man arrested last year after shouting antisemitic abuse in the Stamford Hill area has been found guilty of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment.

Stuart Birnie, 36, from Hackney, was convicted on September 29 at Wood Green Crown Court; he had originally denied the charge.

Birnie was taken into custody on December 17 after verbally abusing a Jewish pedestrian.

According to the victim, Birnie had shouted "F*** all the Jewish people, go f*** yourself, I'm going to kill all the Jews".
