Original Note:

There is no indication that the man had provoked or intended to provoke the protestors, aside from walking across the road and looking Jewish. https://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-footage-reveals-new-details-of-exchange-between-police-and-antisemitism-campaigner-called-openly-jewish-13120104 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13333677/met-police-scramble-openly-jewish-scandal-man-threatened-arrest-private-meeting.html https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68856360
