The suspect is accused of shouting insults at a man in Orthodox Jewish clothing in an “aggressive manner” by Stamford Hill railway station at 5.50pm on Tuesday, said the Metropolitan Police. It comes as Detective Constable Steve Jones said there has been a 14-fold increase in antisemitic hate crimes incidents across the capital since conflict broke out between Isreal and Hamas on 7 October.
