'Hitler was a great man' Van driver caught on camera in shock antisemitic rant

A VAN driver has been caught on film yelling "Hitler was a great man, he knew what he was doing" in a road rage incident in London.

The incident was allegedly sparked by a row over parking on Friday in Stamford Hill.

It is known for being home to a large population of orthodox Hasidic Jews.

The driver, who is black and speaks with a Caribbean accent, repeats the racist phrase several times when asked by the Jewish man.

He adds: "You think you own the world. You don't own the world.

"This is Stamford Hill, this ain't Israel, okay?"

Stamford Hill Shomrim, a Jewish neighbourhood watch group, said they have passed the footage of the incident to the police.

Rabbi Herschel Gluck OBE, president of the organisation, said in a statement he was appalled by the footage.

He added: "The words used in this antisemitic rant is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting.

"I am deeply shocked that a person can hold and feel free to express such despicable views."
