An Orthodox Jewish man on his way to work on Monday morning was threatened and chased by a knife-wielding man who chased him.
The man, who is now under arrest threatened to behead the Jewish man and called him derogatory names. The incident occurred in the Whitechapel section of London, which houses one of the largest Muslim populations in London.
Police arrested the man, who is 34 years old, on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. The police recovered the weapon and it is being held as evidence by the Metropolitan Police.
The victim is 40 years old and is still traumatized, being unable to return to work.
The perpetrator said, “I am going to chop your head off – as he chased after him with the knife. Previously he had called him a, “[expletive deleted] Jew” and then pulled out his knife and began chasing him.
The police have not publicly identified the name or nationality of the perpetrator. They do have this information, as otherwise they could not have known that he was 34 years of age.
Thus far, there has been no statement issued from London’s mayor, Sadik Kahn.
There have been three straight years of rising anti-Semitic incidents in London.

This 34 year old savage must be beheaded in front of Jeremy Corbin’s digs, and then have his flesh thrown to the pigs.

I visit London very often and got death threats in the past. Problem is some Jewish communities in London live in very poor and scary neighborhoods almost like living in Harlem, NY
Of course they haven’t identified they would not want to cause any negative reaction against the peace loving Muslims
I lived in London for 10 years. I dont know why this particular area became like this, but the fact is, Stamford hill area is a very low life area of London. As another commenter here wrote “exactly like Harlem”, I can not agree more. It was a normal thing for me to constantly get spat and yelled at and cursed at and threatened at by low life Polish anti-semites. From my experience during my 10 years in Stamford hill, the problem of that neighborhood is not the muslims, it is ugly low life dirty thugs from the European Union countries that have flooded Britain thanks to the open border policy the EU enforced. It is for this reason that at the time of the referendum on leaving the EU which took place June 2016 (right before I left the UK back to the USA), I told my spouse to vote to leave (as an American citizen, I did not have voting rights), even though most frum jews voted to stay, so the Israeli yungerleit can continue coming into the UK with hungarian passports the are entitled to through a grandparent. But I focused on what is best for Britain as a country, and for the best interests of the jews ALREADY living in the UK, rather then worrying about the jews who will be joining in the future.
