"Scotland Yard confirmed a 36-year-old woman voluntarily attended a police station on Tuesday and was interviewed under caution. A Met spokesperson said: At approximately 16:25hrs on Monday, 6 October, officers were made aware of a video circulating online which appears to show a woman removing ribbons from fence poles in Muswell Hill. A 36-year-old woman attended a police station on Tuesday, 7 October, for a voluntary interview in connection with the incident, which is being treated as racially-aggravated criminal damage and a racially-aggravated Section 5 public order offence."
"Ben Paul, a resident who put up the ribbons, previously said the ribbons' removal was "morally repugnant", adding: "I don't care what your politics are: this is a simple tale of morality." Miranda Levy, who saw the memorial of ribbons being torn down, told the Daily Mail: On the rare occasion the ribbons do get put up, they last for minutes before they are unceremoniously ripped down by people who can't bear to think there are humans on both sides of the conflict."
A 36-year-old woman voluntarily attended a Metropolitan Police station and was interviewed under caution after footage appeared to show a woman removing yellow ribbons from fence poles in Muswell Hill. The ribbons were placed to remember hostages taken during the October 7 attacks and to call for the return of those still held by Hamas. Police are treating the incident as racially aggravated criminal damage and a racially aggravated Section 5 public order offence, and are carrying out reassurance patrols in the area. Local residents described the removal as morally repugnant and said the ribbons are often torn down within minutes. An estimated 48 hostages remain in Gaza, around 20 believed alive, while Palestinian health officials report over 60,000 deaths since the Israeli military campaign began two years ago.
