A man has been arrested after two Jewish teenagers were allegedly showered with racial abuse as they walked in a north London street.

Comments including “Kill the Jews”, “F*** the Jews” and “Allahu Akbar” were allegedly shouted at the boys on Manor Road in Stamford Hill.

Police arrested a man, 23, on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence after being called to the scene shortly after 11pm on Sunday.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said the alleged victims were aged 14 and 17.

Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim also attended the incident.

Stamford Hill supervisor Chaim Hochhauser said: "Anti-Semitism and all types of Hate Crime is unacceptable. I urge victims and witnesses to report such incidents immediately."
