The attack occurred at the Woodberry Down Estate in Hackney, where London’s Metropolitan Police were called at approximately 7:45 pm. Reports indicated that a man on a balcony had targeted a group of Jewish teenage girls, who were on their way to a rehearsal in east London. According to the London Shomrim, a Jewish civil patrol organization, the assailant hurled glass bottles at the girls, leading to one of them being gravely injured.  

 

 

The victim, a 14-year-old girl, sustained head and facial injuries from the assault. She was quickly transported to Royal London Hospital by volunteer medics from Hatzolah Ambulance for emergency care. The London Shomrim issued a statement expressing the community’s shock and distress, saying, “This attack on innocent young Jewish girls has shocked the community.”  

 

The organization further emphasized their role in supporting the affected families, adding, “Shomrim are supporting the victims and their families whilst MPS Hackney investigate this abhorrent hate crime.”  

 

Law enforcement authorities are treating the incident as a potential antisemitic hate crime. However, Metropolitan Police officers who responded to the scene were unable to locate the suspect. They have since confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and are working to bring the perpetrator to justice.  

 

This incident has not only caused physical harm but also sent ripples of fear through Stamford Hill’s Jewish community, which has long prided itself on resilience and unity. The attack has underscored the urgent need for vigilance and strengthened measures to combat antisemitism in all forms.

Shameful attack on innocent young girls.
I hope that they catch him and if he is an immigrant, deport him.
