Laura Davis, 21, of Hendon Way, Barnet, has been charged with a public order offence at Westminster Magistrates Court over allegedly waving an antisemitic sign at a demonstration.
The woman, from Barnet, has been accused of racially aggravated threatening and abusive behaviour, intended to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Ms Davis is currently on bail and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 29 November.
The charge comes after a sharp increase in reports of Antisemitism across the capital since the outbreak of war in Gaza, as well as fresh accusations by Home Secretary Suella Braverman of police bias in their response to recent pro-Palestine demonstrations.
The Met have said they are ‘listening to, and working with, London communities and partners during these difficult times’.
Patrols across the city have increased to more than 1,000 officers providing high visibility in vulnerable communities.
