A Jewish teen was attacked and beaten unconscious by a gang of up to eight youths while on his way to his home in North London on Sunday afternoon, the Jewish Chronicle reports.
The gang, thought to be aged between 10 and 14, then ran off with his Yarmulke and tefillin, leaving the 15-year-old male unconscious on the pavement, with bruises around his eye and nose, and bleeding from a cut lip.
The Stamford Hill youth was taken to Homerton Hospital by Hatzolah, and was kept in overnight for observation.
Police are treating the assault as a racist crime – and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The gang had started following the boy as he walked along Cazenove Road and then into Geldeston Road before they attacked him near an entrance to the Northwold housing estate.
Police said one older boy, aged between 12 and 14, punched the Jewish youth in the face. The teenager fell to the floor and two more of the gang landed more blows to his face as he lay on the floor. Police said the gang were all white, with the exception of one boy who was of south Mediterranean appearance.

MiMedinat HaYam, Londonistan is more Arab than Jenin. The UK has totally capitulated to the Arab minority.
