Knife-wielding woman roams London street threatening Jews

A knife-wielding woman threatening London Jews and hurling antisemitic abuse was arrested by Metropolitan Police on Wednesday, according to the Metropolitan Police and the Stamford Hill Shomrim Jewish neighborhood watch.

Police said that there were no reported injuries and that they had a 70-year-old woman in custody.

"That ain't going to save you," the knifewoman shouted as she threw the knife at a fleeing Jewish woman, according to a video published by the Shomrim on Thursday.

According to Campaign Against Antisemitism, the woman allegedly told a Jewish man that he was a "provocation" and that “you people, you Jewish...all the trouble you’re creating in the world."

“Who do you think started the Second World War? You, the Jewish, started the Second World War," the woman reportedly explained.

The Shomrim said that eight of its volunteers quickly arrived at the scene, after which three Met officers armed with tasers confronted her.

The video showed the woman following police commands and putting her arms behind her back while lying on the ground.
