A 14-year-old Jewish girl sustained serious head and facial injuries in a violent antisemitic attack on Monday night in Stamford Hill, North London. The incident occurred as a group of young Jewish girls were walking to a rehearsal, when a man reportedly threw glass bottles at them from a balcony at the Woodberry Down Estate.
One of the girls was severely injured in the attack and was rushed to the Royal London Hospital by Hatzolah EMTs for treatment.
The Metropolitan Police’s Hackney division and Shomrim have launched an investigation into the incident, and are appealing for witnesses and information as they work to identify the perpetrator.
The attack has sparked widespread concern and calls for heightened security measures in the area. Community leaders have urged authorities to take robust action to combat the rising tide of antisemitism, while encouraging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity.
The Stamford Hill area, home to a large Orthodox Jewish community, has seen a troubling rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, prompting renewed calls for stronger protection measures.

Absolute nonsene.
trying to scare everyone.
This has nothing to do with anti-Semitism at all.
It is a known drunkard that many in the kehilla have been complaining about for yonkers, but no-one is really interested in sorting out, INCLUDING shomrim, because it is a situation that means more work than attention. It won’t get a screaming headline of “shomrim saves the day” or “shomrim apprehends anti-semite whatever” etc.
And the same goes for the Met Police, for whom there is a record for example in house robberies, of upward of 85%-95% of robberies not being solved.
If they are really serious, they’d sort out that guy specifically, and the whole estate there that is one big rubbish druggy dumpster (besides for the Yidden that live there)….
I hope somebody throws that guy off his balcony.
