A man on a bicycle targeted several Jewish men in a string of antisemitic attacks in London’s Stamford Hill.

CCTV footage shows the male knocking the hats off identifiably Jewish victims’ heads while cycling past.

According to Local security group Shomrim, the same man also punched some individuals in the head.

The incidents took place outside a synagogue on Cazenove Road earlier on Wednesday morning.

Shromrim’s Stamford Hill branch wrote on X/Twitter: “Racist Male on a bicycle attacked multiple Jewish residents of #StamfordHill throwing off their hats & punching some victims to the head.

“Reports of more victims, who are requested to come forward.”

The incidents took place less than a mile from a bus stop in Amhurst Park where vandals sprayed-painted crosses over several Star of David’s.

Antisemitic attacks have been on the rise in recent weeks, particularly in the northeast London neighbourhood.

Earlier in the month, Shomrim posted CCTV footage of a Charedi man being punched in the head by a cyclist.

They also reported that a woman in Stamford Hill screamed: “I'll kill all of you Jews. You are murderers!" at children playing in front of their school on Shabbat.

In early December, a Jewish woman was kicked and beaten by two people on a dark street. Police said she had her bag stolen.

Two girls aged 13 and 14 from Haringey were arrested on suspicion of robbery.

The Met Police have been approached for comment about Wednesday’s incidents.
