Two men were convicted Saturday when they admitted to antisemitic hate crimes after having traveled to a predominantly Jewish area of London to film themselves abusing Jewish people.

Adam Bedoui, 20, and Abdelkader Bousloub, 21, pleaded guilty to a religiously aggravated public order offense at Thames Magistrates’ Court, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

It was the latest in a series of assaults on Britain’s Jewish community that included a terror attack that seriously injured two men, and arson attacks on Jewish property, including synagogues. In the most deadly recent attack, two men were killed in a stabbing and car-ramming attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur, in October 2025

According to police, Bedoui and Bousloub traveled on Thursday to Clapton Common, which lies close to the Stamford Hill area of the capital, home to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews.

There, they “verbally abused” a Jewish man while filming the incident for the TikTok video-sharing platform.

Officers were alerted to the incident and arrived while the suspects were still in the area.

“Both suspects attempted to flee but were swiftly detained by officers at the scene,” police said.

“This was a deliberate and targeted antisemitic attack, aggravated by the pair’s intention to post the incident on social media to spread hatred,” said Detective Superintendent Oliver Richter, who leads policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets. “It is completely unacceptable and has no place in London.”

Bedoui and Bousloub will appear for sentencing at Thames Magistrates’ Court on June 5.

Three others who were also arrested in connection with the incident have been released on bail pending further enquiries, police said.

Amid a spike in antisemitic crimes, police noted that in the past four weeks alone, the Met has arrested around 50 people for antisemitic hate crimes, with 10 individuals charged.

Meanwhile, a man was arrested on Thursday for a suspected antisemitic hate crime after making threats to Jewish passengers on a bus on Upper Clapton Road, which joins Clapton Common, also close to Stamford Hill.

According to the Jewish community protection group, Shomrim, the man shouted, “Shame Hitler didn’t kill you,” and “You should all go in the gas chambers,” at Jewish passengers on a number 254........
