Jewish man assaulted and called 'baby killer' in antisemitic attack in Slough

A Jewish man has said he feared for his life after being assaulted and called a "baby killer" in an antisemitic attack. The victim, who gave his name as Moshe, told BBC News he was approached while working at a property in Slough on Monday when a man began shouting abuse. Video footage filmed by Moshe shows an aggressive man threatening to break his jaw and attempting to knock a phone from his hand. Thames Valley Police said a 48-year-old man from Slough has been arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated assault and public order offences. Moshe said he was wearing a black kippa, a traditional head covering worn by Jewish men, at the time of the incident on Elliman Avenue. "I was thinking two things," he said. "Number one was survival. Number two, I was just berating myself: 'What were you thinking going out like this, in England, as a visible Jew?'" In the video, the man can also be seen repeatedly swearing, asking "what are you doing round here, bro?" and calling Moshe a "dirty Jew". He said the incident had left him feeling unsafe in some parts of the country. Police said officers were called at 16:36 BST and that a man in his 20s had been threatened. Det Insp Terry Dixon said the incident would "cause a great deal of concern" within Jewish communities. He added: "Antisemitic incidents, or indeed any hate-related incident, will not be tolerated and we will do everything in our power to bring those responsible to justice."
