Two men have been arrested in connection with two antisemitic incidents in London in the last 48 hours.

Police in Tower Hamlets made an arrest in Dunbridge Street, Bethnal Green on Monday, after a man reportedly yelled “f***ing Jew” at a Jewish passer-by, before brandishing a knife and chasing him down the street, shouting further antisemitic epithets.

Tower Hamlets Police confirmed that they had arrested a 34-year-old man "for a racially aggravated public order offence. A knife was recovered from the suspect who remains in custody."
