Jewish Man Was Detained by Met Police for Hours for “Antagonising” Pro-Palestinian Protesters With Star of David
19th October 2025
According to a post shared on X on October 18th, a Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested in the UK after the police alleged the symbol had “antagonised” pro-Palestine protesters. The lawyer was handcuffed and detained by police for almost ten hours.
In the video made public under the post, two men who appear to be plainclothes police officers, conduct an interview with (or rather, interrogation of) the Jewish man, identified in the X post as a lawyer, who argues that the wearing of a religious symbol cannot cause “offence.”
According to the date of the recording visible on the footage, the incident happened in August.
