Two men have been charged with religiously aggravated harassment over allegations they travelled to north London to film antisemitic TikTok videos. Officers were called to reports of a hate crime involving a group of men allegedly harassing members of the Jewish community on Clapton Common at about 9pm on Thursday, the Metropolitan police said.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Adam Bedoui, 20, and Abdelkader Amir Bousloub, 21, were to appear at Thames magistrates court on Saturday over allegations they approached, harassed and filmed Jewish people in Stamford Hill, north London. Bedoui and Bousloub, both of West Drayton, Hillingdon, west London, were charged with religiously aggravated intentional harassment, contrary to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and intentional harassment, contrary to the Public Order Act 1986. Two other 20-year-old men and a 21-year-old man who were arrested had been released on bail pending further inquiries, police said. The arrests come days after the Met allocated 100 officers to a new community protection team “focused on protecting Jewish communities across London” after a series of recent attacks in the capital, including the stabbing of two Jewish men last month in Golders Green.
