A man has been detained by the police today after he reportedly walked through a Jewish area shouting “Allah! Allah! I’m going to kill you all”.
Police in Hackney detained the man this morning, on Lealand Road in Stamford Hill. He has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
In a statement released by Shomrim, the Jewish neighbourhood watch organisation, the man was described as “shouting threats, with members of the public rushing away from him, fearing for their immediate safety.
“Thankfully police were able to detain him, and prevent further incident.”
