Police Probe "Appalling" Anti-Semitic Abuse

Police are hunting three men after anti-Semitic abuse was hurled at a group of Jewish youngsters travelling on a private bus in London's West End.

The young group had attracted the attention of the wanted men by engaging in a traditional group Jewish dance on the pavement just minutes earlier.

Police received a report that unknown males were directing anti-Semitic abuse towards the group at approximately 8.00pm on Monday, November 29 in Oxford Street.

Officers stopped the private hire bus in nearby Grosvenor Place to check on the welfare of the passengers and confirm nobody had been injured.

Detective Inspector Kevin Eade, from Westminster's local policing team said: "Our investigation into this appalling incident continues and we are now in a position to release three clearer images of the men we would like to speak to.

"Despite extensive enquiries over the past week we are yet to make any arrests, however I am confident that somebody will recognise the people in the images and I would urge anyone who does to contact us immediately."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting 6184/29Nov.
