A second swastika has been found scrawled on the seat of a Northern line train, just weeks after another was reported.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism, a British charity dedicated to countering antisemitism, reported the Nazi symbol on the seat of a Northern line train leaving Edgware this morning (October 27) at around 7am.
The group said: “Jews must not be made to feel unsafe in London.”

Transport for London has responded by saying the case is being looked into, and British Transport Police are asking for anyone with information to contact them.
It comes just two weeks after another swastika was graffitied on the seat of a Northern line train on October 10.
British Transport Police has increased its patrols across the railway network after tensions rose following the Hamas terror attack in Israel on October 7.
Anyone with information is asked to text police on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 154 of 27/10/2023.
