Fake sign hoax

A road sign, which appears to warn “beware of Jews” popped up just meters away from a shul in north London on Tuesday, reports the BBC.

The sign depicts the silhouette of an orthodox Jewish man wearing a traditional Fedora hat and was spotted on a lamppost in Stamford Hill – see full picture below story.

A member of a Jewish neighbourhood watch group saw the sign and reported it to police.

It is understood the sign was later removed by Hackney Council.

Barry Bard, of Jewish neighbourhood group “Shomrim NE London” – said it was the first known sighting of such a sign, which had caused alarm in the local community due to its meticulous planning.

He said: “The people of Stamford Hill are very sadly used in instances of anti-Semitic hate crime, but most of those times it will be verbal abuse or even assault.
