A recent patient at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow has alleged that another patient in his ward was assaulted by a healthcare worker after being identified as Jewish.
The patient – who wished not to be identified – claimed that the healthcare worker hit the other patient on the knee, before lifting him up and shaking him when he complained about the pain.
North West London University NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, confirmed that a complaint had been received and the matter referred to the Metropolitan Police.
The healthcare worker was said to have identified the two Jewish patients to the others on the ward. He then allegedly proceeded to hit the other Jewish patient on the kneecap.
