A Jewish bus passenger was called a “f*cking devil” in shocking abuse on Friday morning, video footage posted online reveals.
The attacker, who was brandishing a yellow pole, can be seen hurling insults and rambling incoherently on a London bus.
He said: “That's where you come from, you shouldn't be in Palestine, you're some f*cking murders. Kill children... you enslaved black people for 500 years. Jew. F*king Jew he’s a f*cking devil. Tell him all the f*cking Israeli people are dead in a bloodclart. Me tell you that, the black god tell you that. Record it, record all of it.”
Aware that he is being filmed, he then adds: “Bloodclart 10 Downing Street, tell them the black god said all of the people are imposter, deceive people that you are Jew.”
The footage, posted online by Jewish community watch group Shomrim, shows the man becoming increasingly irate.
