Man jailed for shouting death threats at Jews in London

LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) - ‌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.
