Three attacks at the end of last week have put the community on high alert
August 2, 2022 15:15A string of antisemitic attacks in North London has left the community on high alert as the Met Police appeal for information about the perpetrators.
Last Thursday, a Jewish woman was assaulted near Seven Sisters Underground Station in Tottenham, North London.
According to the Met police: "Officers were called at around 3.45pm on Thursday, July 28 to reports of a woman assaulted by another woman close to Seven Sisters Underground station.
"Due to comments made during the assault, this is being treated as a hate crime.
“No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, and inquiries continue into the circumstances.”
Community security group Shomrim posted footage of the incident on social media, appealing for information. The footage shows a woman chasing a mother and child while appearing to brandish a stick.
