Overview
- Rob Rinder says a boy on a bike yelled “Heil Hitler” at him on Carnaby Street on Friday night, and he wrote that the abuse left him “not shocked.”
- The incident came days after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, for which 45-year-old Essa Suleiman has been charged with three counts of attempted murder and possession of a blade.
- Prosecutors say two counts relate to the Golders Green victims and a third to an earlier knife attack in Southwark, and a judge remanded Suleiman ahead of a May 15 Old Bailey hearing.
- Video of officers Tasering and subduing the suspect drew online criticism that Met chief Sir Mark Rowley called “inaccurate,” and Green Party leader Zack Polanski apologized for sharing the post.
- The government raised the UK terror threat level to severe and pledged extra security funding for Jewish sites, as data show antisemitic crime reports remain close to twice pre‑2023 levels.
