The Met Police is investigating reports of an open-top bus travelling past a Stamford Hill synagogue with speakers blaring “Yiddos go home”.
Shomrim posted footage of a crowd sitting on the top deck of a hired bus decorated with balloons and banners and asked any alleged victims and witnesses to come forward.
The Jewish neighbourhood watch group said the abuse reportedly appeared to be targeting Orthodox Jews leaving synagogue.

A spokesperson for the Met Police said, “We are aware of a video posted by @Shomrim of an open top bus in Stamford Hill, along with reports of antisemitic abuse being broadcast.
“Officers are aware of the video and are making enquiries. There has been no arrest at this stage."
A bus company, Ensignbus, also said that it was investigating.
“Our driver unfortunately did not hear anything due to the general amount of noise from the number of people upstairs.
“If anyone has audio (or video with audio) of what was said, we would like to hear it to help with our own investigation,” the firm said on Saturday.
