Two Polish men threw bacon towards worshippers in a mosque before evening prayers, a court has heard.

Piotr Czak-Zukowski and Mateusz Pawlikowski also threw the meat towards a shoe rack at the Al-Rahman Mosque in Camden, with some landing inside a shoe.

They have both been kept in custody over fears for their safety if they were released on bail.

The men were described as wearing dark uniforms, and went to the mosque on Sunday night. Ham is considered haram (forbidden) in the Islamic faith.

After being confronted by worshippers they threw the meat, before fleeing without saying anything.

Police arrived shortly after being called and they cleaned up the mosque, before staying on guard overnight, a witness said.

Scotland Yard said the two men were arrested near the mosque on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.
