An 18-year-old from north London, known as Bacari Ogarro or 'Mizzy', has been arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance after posting videos of himself

harassing Orthodox Jews on social media platforms. In the videos, Ogarro trespasses into people's houses, makes unsolicited approaches in public, and even runs away with their dogs, before sharing the clips on YouTube and TikTok. It should be noted that his pranks were not limited to targeting Jews.

The arrest took place on Monday evening, and Ogarro was remanded in custody. Furthermore, his social media accounts were taken down, and notices were posted stating that the accounts violated the platforms' code of conduct.

Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway from the Central East Command Unit, responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, acknowledged the widespread upset, distress, and concern caused by the videos. He emphasized that the investigation took these incidents seriously and stated that the police are diligently working to gather information and understand the impact on the public.

The videos depict various incidents, including Ogarro jumping over an Orthodox Jewish man waiting for a bus and pointing out Jewish individuals on the street. In one particularly concerning video, he enters a home through an open front door and interacts with the residents without their permission, though they are not believed to be Jewish.

The Metropolitan Police highlighted the incidents of unsolicited approaches made towards members of the public and entering properties without permission as key factors in their ongoing investigation. Photo by Photo by RoBalls at en.wikipedia.
