David Abraham, a black Jew, boarded a bus in North London, in October 2025. He touched the payment device with his credit card as normal, but when the Stamford Hill bus driver, Paul Lindo 60, said, “I don’t like Jews,” he was startled and dropped his card in between the touch device and the plastic covering. Lindo then told him how he hated Jews and locked the passenger inside the bus for more than an hour. David videoed himself as he couldn’t believe a black man would do this to a black man. The incident was reported to police and the driver was arrested, but amazingly, the @CPSUK Crime Prosecution Service, decided NOT to pursue the case. The NGO campaign against @antisemitism then provided David with the necessary legal backing to seek justice. All of a sudden, the CPS changed their minds and decided to prosecute. Lindo was charged with racially aggravated intentional harassment, for locking Jewish passenger, David Abraham aboard a bus for around an hour and making antisemitic remarks. Lindo is due at Thames Magistrates' Court on 16th November. Credit to Campaign Against Antisemitism for standing with victims of antisemitic abuse. Shame on yhe @CPSUK for once again, failing to do their job and protect members of the public
