A group of students from Jews' Free School had a terrifying experience on their way home from school. They were on the 688 bus, minding their own business, when a group of teenagers from another school started throwing rocks and rubbish at the bus. The attackers were shouting profanities about Israel and causing chaos on the bus.
The incident took place in Edgware, while the bus was stopped. The students were shocked and scared as the attackers continued to harass them. Some of them even started filming the ordeal on their phones. It wasn't until one of the children told their parents about the attack that the incident was reported to the police.
The Metropolitan Police are now investigating the incident as a potential hate crime. The bus had stopped in Edgware when the attack occurred. The attackers threw stones at the bus and then boarded it, making hateful and antisemitic remarks towards the students on board. Officers from the safer transport team have spoken to the victims and their parents, but no arrests have been made yet.
Superintendent Lorraine Busby-McVey, who is in charge of neighbourhood policing in Barnet, expressed her concern and disapproval of the incident. She stated that there is no place for hate crime in London and that a thorough investigation is underway. She also added that the behavior of the attackers is completely unacceptable and that the incident was distressing for everyone on the bus.
In the meantime, the latest news from London includes delays on the Elizabeth line and train cancellations at Liverpool Street station. There are also plans to potentially extend the Tube line in South East London. However, it's not all positive developments in the city, as an iconic market is set to close after nearly 800 years.
