London police are investigating a suspected anti-Semitic hate crime after a Jewish man was assaulted for attempting to stop the creation of anti-Israel graffiti. The incident occurred in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency, where the victim, Dan Leven, witnessed two individuals spray-painting a message that labeled Labour candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali a "puppet of genocidal Israel." Leven reportedly confronted the individuals, calling their actions anti-Semitic propaganda. According to Leven, one of the individuals then punched and kicked him, before knocking him to the ground and continuing to assault him, striking his head and ribs.
