Transport for London have confirmed they are investigating a case where a Jewish man was trapped on a London bus by the driver, who allegedly made antisemitic comments and refused to give him back his bank card.
In a video shared widely on social media, the Jewish man, identified as David Abraham, pleads with the bus driver to return his card, which had dropped behind the driver’s partition when he had used to pay.
“My own card, I’m begging the driver to give me my bank card – he don’t want to give me. I don’t know what is going on”, David says in the video.
“The guy says he hates Jewish people – I didn’t do anything to him. I just touched my bank card, my bank card dropped there, he says he doesn’t want to give me my card, he doesn’t like Jewish people. What kind of driver is this?
“I begged him for 40 minutes, this driver is not going to give me my card.”
Elsewhere in the video, David, who is originally from Africa, says “it’s very sad. I’m very surprised to see a black man is hating another black man because I’m Jewish.”
It turns out that the bus route was the 67, which goes through the heart of the Stamford Hill Jewish community. Lovely.
