Police are investigating after racist mock Pokémon stickers appeared at London Tube stations and bus stops.
The stickers – created under the name "Pakémon" – have been spotted by “disgusted” commuters across the capital.
They mimic the popular children’s card game where players are awarded points for collecting Pokémon based on their rarity.
The cards, which have been branded "appallingly racist" by Tube commuters, show high profile Muslims, including the Mayor of London who is branded “the most dangerous Pakémon”.
One sticker, which includes a picture of Sadiq Khan, reads: “He believes that Londoners should learn to accept Islamic terrorism while he is mayor.”
The creator offers “200 terror points” to anyone who collects the offensive sticker of Mr Khan – dubbed “Hamaskhan”.
The stickers are branded with the slogan “gotta catch and deport them all” – mimicking the cartoon’s famous “gotta catch ‘em all” tagline.
Former member of the self-styled 'Muslim Patrols' Jordan Horner who apologised for attempting to enforce Sharia Law on London’s streets and Islamic extremist Jihadi John – dubbed “Beheadatron” are also featured.

awful, the commuters must be devastated and it's bound to affect their working day.
Heading straight for the 'stress rooms' no doubt the minute they got in.
Haha its better to mock than to hate who would deny that?
in England maybe we shouldn't do that, but you have to respect these rascals who did this whether you want to or not :)
