As the sun began to set on Monday evening, a group of young Jewish girls were making their way to a rehearsal in north London. Little did they know, their peaceful walk would soon turn into a nightmare. Without warning, a barrage of glass bottles and plates came flying towards them from a nearby balcony at the Woodberry Down Estate. In a matter of seconds, the girls were left injured and terrified.
One 16-year-old girl was hit with such force that she had to be rushed to the Royal London Hospital by the Hatzola Ambulance volunteers. The community was in shock and disbelief at what had just happened. The local neighbourhood watch group, Shomrim, whose mission is to protect the Jewish population in Stamford Hill, expressed their outrage and support for the victims.
In a statement, Shomrim shared a video of the scene, which showed the street covered in shattered glass. They described the aftermath as resembling that of a riot, with the sheer amount of broken glass scattered everywhere. It was clear that this was a targeted and deliberate attack, as the bottles were thrown with such force and distance that it could only be described as violent.
The group of schoolgirls were simply targeted for one reason - their visibly Jewish identity. This hatred and discrimination towards a specific group of people is unacceptable and has no place in our society. The police were immediately called to the scene, but unfortunately, the suspect could not be located. Witnesses are urged to come forward and assist in the investigation of this hate crime.
Shomrim also expressed their support for the victims and their families, while the Metropolitan Police continue to investigate. The incident was reported to the police at 7:44 pm and is being treated as a potential antisemitic hate crime. The London Ambulance Service confirmed that the Hatzola ambulance service was on the scene, providing assistance to the injured girl.
As tensions continue to rise and hate crimes become more prevalent, it is important to stay informed and aware of what is happening in our communities. In other news, the Elizabeth line delays have been extended, causing disruptions in train services at Liverpool Street. Also, plans for a new Tube line in South East London are in the works. On a sad note, an iconic London market is set to close after nearly 800 years. For the latest updates and news from the capital, visit Metro's London news hub.
Let us stand together and condemn these acts of hate and violence. No one should ever have to fear for their safety because of their religion, ethnicity, or any other aspect of their identity. If you witnessed this incident or have any information, please contact the police or Crimestoppers anonymously. Let's work towards building a society that embraces diversity and celebrates our differences.
