We asked for help here in identifying an individual that has been performing cut-throat gestures towards female refugees as they try to catch a bus – as well as screaming threats towards refugees and antifascists. It is our belief that if antifascists were not present, he would present a risk of serious physical violence towards vulnerable refugees. It is absolutely vital that antifascists continue to respond to calls to protect refugees housed in hotels – to prevent people like this from intimidating and attacking them.

We can now confirm his identity as Pete Heal of Exeter. Everyone should exercise extreme caution around him – we strongly suspect that he carries a knife.
