A Jewish resident said he was left fearing for his safety after being attacked and verbally abused in what he described as an antisemitic incident.

The man, who identified himself as Moshe, told BBC News that he was working at a property in Slough, England on Monday when another individual approached him and began shouting hostile remarks.

Footage recorded by Moshe shows a confrontational man threatening violence, including saying he would break his jaw, while also trying to knock the phone out of his hand.

The footage cannot be posted because of the repeated profanity it features.

Thames Valley Police confirmed that a 48-year-old man from Slough was taken into custody on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated assault, along with public order offenses.

Moshe explained that he had been wearing a black yarmulka, the traditional head covering worn by Jewish men, during the encounter 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?'”

The video also captures the suspect repeatedly using profanity, questioning Moshe’s presence by asking “what are you doing round here, bro?” and referring to him as a “dirty Jew.”

Following the attack, Moshe said he no longer feels secure in certain areas of the country.

Police reported that officers responded to the scene at 16:36 BST, where a man in his 20s had been threatened.

Detective Inspector Terry Dixon said the incident is likely to “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.”

Shomrim, a volunteer group that assists Jewish communities, condemned the episode, calling it an “abhorrent, vile and unprovoked antisemitic assault.”
