Golders Green, London - Anti-semitic graffiti has been daubed on a bus stop in Golders Green at the junction of Woodstock Avenue and Golders Green Road.

Golders Green councillor Melvin Cohen said "Over the last two or three weeks a series of anti-Semitic muggings have been reported. This week anti-Semitic graffiti was found on a bus stop." "Councillors are meeting with police and I am going to meet the borough commander (Stephen Kavanagh) about it."

The Community Security Trust (CST), the body that investigates anti-Semitic attacks, revealed there were 594 hate incidents in the UK last year.

The CST found violent assaults had risen by 37 per cent since 2005, abusive behaviour by 34 per cent and damage and desecration of Jewish communal property by 46 per cent. The figure represents a 31 per cent rise on 2005 and the highest level since records began in 1984.
