A 35-year-old man has been charged with racially aggravated public order offences after a video showing a London Underground passenger abusing a Jewish family went viral in November last year.

The clip showed the passenger referring to the “synagogue of Satan” and reading Bible verses, directed at a boy and his father, both of whom were wearing kippot, on a Northern Line train.

The abuser in the video can then be heard threatening another man who tries to intervene, before being confronted by another passenger, Asma Shuweikh.

According to British Transport Police, Isher Campbell, 35, of Spiral Close, Dudley, is to appear in court in August charged with a public order offence and two counts of a racially aggravated public order offence in connection to an incident on the Northern Line on 22 November.

He has also been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence in connection to a separate incident on the Northern Line on 6 August.
