'Shame Hitler didn't kill you:' Hackney man charged for threats to kill Jews on London bus

After making threats to kill Jews on a North London bus, a Hackney man was charged on Friday, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, Metropolitan Police, and North and East London Shomrim.

Fifty year old James Agius was charged with religiously aggravated harassment and using threatening words for the alleged abuse of Orthodox Jews on a bus traveling through Stamford Hill on Thursday.

The Met told The Jerusalem Post on Friday that Agius was suspected of making threats to kill. Shomrim said on X on Thursday that a male suspect had boarded a bus in Hackney and threatened to kill Jewish children while also claiming to possess a knife. The Met said that a search of the suspect yielded no weapon.

“Shame Hitler didn’t kill you," the suspect said, according to the Shomrim. “You should all go in the gas chambers.”
