Pair ‘who went to Stamford Hill to film and harass Jewish community for social media clicks’ are charged with religiously aggravated harassment

Two men accused of traveling to Stamford Hill to make videos harassing Jews have been charged with religiously aggravated harassment.

Adam Bedoui, 20, and Abdelkader Amir Bousloub, 21, will appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court later today.

The pair are said to have traveled to Stamford Hill, a predominantly Jewish town in north London, where they approached, harassed and filmed residents.

Both men, from Hillingdon, west London, were charged with religiously aggravated intentional harassment and intentional harassment.

CPS Direct Chief Prosecutor Huw Rogers said: ‘Our team of CPS Direct out-of-hours prosecutors worked to establish that there was sufficient evidence to bring charges and that it was in the public interest to continue the criminal investigation.

‘We worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they conducted their investigation.’

This follows the arrest of a ninth suspect in connection with an arson attack on Jewish ambulances in Golders Green in March.

A 48-year-old man was arrested and detained in East London on Thursday.

Four Hatzola ambulances were set on fire in the early hours of March 23 outside a synagogue in Golders Green, one of the areas with the highest proportion of Jews in London.

The firebomb caused gas cylinders stored in ambulances to explode, and the force of the explosion caused the windows of a nearby apartment block to shatter.

The roof of the synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in Europe, was damaged and its stained glass windows were broken in the fire.

Three men and a teenager had previously appeared in court accused of destroying ambulances.

The Metropolitan Police this week announced a new Community Protection Team of 100 extra officers who will provide a more visible, intelligence-led and coordinated presence focused on protecting London’s Jewish communities.

The Met said the new team was a combination of neighborhood policing, specialist protection and counter-terrorism capabilities.

It follows the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green last month in what police called an act of terrorism.

After two men, aged 34 and 76, were hospitalized with stab wounds in the attack, police arrested 45-year-old Essa Suleiman on suspicion of attempted murder.

Security organization Shomrim said a man was seen running along Golders Green Road with a knife in his hand and trying to stab Jewish people.’

It was stated that a suspect was detained by Shomrim members and arrested by the police, who used a stun gun on him.

Security camera footage shows a man wearing a kippah, or traditional skullcap, near a bus stop when a passerby attacks him with a knife.

Arson attacks in recent weeks have targeted Jewish settlements in London, including a charity ambulance in Golders Green and a synagogue a few miles away.

Metropolitan Police chief Mark Rowley said it was ‘another appalling act of violence against our Jewish communities’.

But some British Jews expressed anger at the authorities’ failure to keep them safe.

This is breaking news, more to come.
