Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said officers would ‘not stand by’ if hate crimes took place.
Antisemitic offences in London have increased by over 1,000% this month compared to last year, police have said.
These arrests included a man detained on suspicion of defacing posters of missing Israelis in Camden and another man in relation to 10 incidents of Islamophobic graffiti on bus stops in New Malden and Raynes Park. They added that Islamophobia offences during the same period had increased from 42 last year, to 101 this year – an increase of 140%.
Mr Adelekan said that over 1,000 officers would be deployed to police a pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday, adding that speeches would take place on a stage away from the Cenotaph after “concerns last week” about its location.
