Shocking moment Jewish girls have plates thrown at their heads in suspected anti-Semitic attack in London
A 14-year-old girl was rushed to hospital after being pelted with glass bottles in "an abhorrent hate crime" in Stamford Hill last month.
The group of Jewish students were making their way to a rehearsal on November 21, when a man allegedly threw "dozens" of glass bottles and plates at their heads.
In footage shared by neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, a plate can be seen being hurled from a balcony and hitting one girl in the head, throwing her to the ground as she screams.
The video is captioned "wicked" with laughing emojis, suggesting it may have been a targeted attack
The alleged attack, which took place outside the Woodberry Down Estate in Stamford Hill, "deeply shocked the community," the group said.
Upon arriving on the scene, Shomrim contacted the Metropolitan Police, who have since arrested a man in connection with the alleged crime.
Police attended the scene at 7:44pm on Monday, November 21, in a statement they said a "girl was struck on the head and was taken to hospital. Her injuries have since been assessed as non-life changing".
The release added: "Officers attended the scene to carry out initial enquiries but were unable to locate the suspect. An investigation is ongoing.
"The incident is being treated as a potential antisemitic hate crime."
In a statement, Shomrim said: "The premeditated attack has left the local community deeply shaken.
"Evidence suggests the perpetrator had prepared the bottles and plates in advance, deliberately targeting the girls due to their visibly Jewish appearance."
Shomrim has urged anyone with further information to contact them or the Met Police quoting CAD 6966 25/11/24.
