(LBC) Police have apologised after threatening to arrest an “openly Jewish” man at a pro-Palestine march — and then said sorry again after they were accused of “victim blaming” in their response.
Gideon Falter was wearing a kippah on his head and trying to cross a road in the Aldwych area of London when he was stopped by police.
A video shared by Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) from the march last weekend showed him saying to the officer: “I don’t want to stay here, I want to leave.”
The officer responded: “In that case, sir, when the crowd is gone I will happily escort you out.”
Mr Falter then attempted to walk across the road before being blocked.
