Barnet police have launched an investigation into an alleged incident of anti-Semitic abuse on a Golders Green bus.

The incident is believed to involve a man, travelling on the 102 bus with a young child, hurling anti-Semitic abuse at three victims in their early 20s.

The suspect is described as a man of Middle-Eastern appearance, approximately five ft eight and with slight stubble.

The allegations were reported to police last month and an investigation is ongoing.

A police spokesman said: “Detectives in Barnet are investigating an allegation of anti-Semitic abuse. The incident is said to have taken place on 24 December at 22:30hrs, on a route 102 bus near Golders Green Bus Station.

“Officers are working with Transport for London to obtain any CCTV that is available. Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 101, or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
