London Jewish children told ‘I’ll kill you murderers’, security group reports

Shomrim records spate of vile attacks and abuse against Jews in north London

Jews in London’s Stamford Hill have been hit by a wave of sickening abuse and violence in the past week. 

Local security group Shomrim has reported that a woman screamed, “I'll kill all of you Jews. You are murderers!" at children playing in front of their school last Shabbat. A woman was subsequently arrested by police.

In another incident, a thug hurled abuse at Jewish greengrocer, who was told, "You f***ing jew, I will kill you". The man went on to shout abuse at a Jewish mother and baby, and chased another Jewish man into oncoming traffic, Shomrim said. 

Last Sunday, an 84-year-old Holocaust and his family were reportedly subjected to vile abuse when the occupants of a passing car screamed "Heil Hitler" at them on Upper Clapton Road.

Shomrim has also posted shocking footage of a Charedi man being punched in the head by a cyclist. The clip shows the thug riding on the pavement before knocking into the man and proceeding to hit him and push him away. 

It comes following another attack last week in which Jewish woman was kicked and beaten "unconscious” in Stamford Hill. 

The security group reported at the time: “The brutal attack ended after the two female offenders kept on kicking the unconscious victim in the head before laughing over her body and, according to witness reports, saying joyfully she's ‘dead’!”

In a statement, Scotland Yard said two girls aged 13 and 14 from Haringey were arrested on suspicion of robbery and remain in custody.

The Met said investigators are treating the attack as a "possible hate crime" and CCTV images from the scene suggested the suspects were wearing school uniforms at the time.
