Man jailed for shouting death threats at Jews in London

A man, arrested ​for shouting "I will kill ​you Jews," who ‌then threatened ​to blow up Jewish schools an hour after being released from custody, was ‌jailed in a London court on Friday after admitting antisemitic hate crimes. Tavius Jean-Charles, 36, made repeated threats to six victims between October 2025 ‌and March 2026, with the incidents occurring near synagogues in ‌an area of north London with a large Jewish community, police said.

He was reported to detectives after he was observed shouting death threats on ⁠March ​16 and arrested ⁠a week later. Shortly after being released by police, he was heard ⁠saying into his phone: "It would be good if we blew up one ​of their schools". He pleaded guilty last month to seven ⁠racially aggravated public order offences and one count of racially aggravated criminal damage, ⁠and ​on Friday was jailed for five years at Southwark Crown Court.

London has seen a spate of antisemitic attacks ⁠in recent months, including the stabbing of two Jewish men as well ⁠as numerous ⁠arson incidents. Prosecutors have promised to bring those responsible to justice quicker with faster charging decisions and ‌speedier evidence ‌gathering.
