A North London man has been sentenced to six months in prison after being convicted last month of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment.
Stuart Birnie, a 36-year old Hackney resident, was sentenced on October 28 by Dafna Spiro, a recorder at Wood Green Crown Court.
The Court heard how he told a probation officer in the pre-sentencing report that "all downfalls of his life within a short period were because of the Jews" and that the "situation in Stamford Hill is epidemic [sic]".
CCTV footage from December 17 last year showed Birnie standing at a bus stop on one side of the road in Stamford Hill, N16 before deliberately crossing over to attack his victim, who was standing outside a Kosher shop.
