A representative of Stamford Hill’s Shomrim volunteer security group has said antisemitism in the area is “getting worse” after an incident where a man threw a glass bottle at Jewish girls while shouting “Hitler is a good man; good he killed the Jews”.

The girls, aged 15 and 16, were outside their home in Hackney at around 7pm on Sunday when they were approached by the man, in what was described by Shomrim as an “unprovoked antisemitic attack”.

The girls escaped their assailant by running into their home.

Chaim Hochhauser from Stamford Hill Shomrim said: "This was a terrifying experience for the young victims who were targeted in this unprovoked antisemitic attack.
