Schoolgirls reportedly shout “Hitler, Hitler” at Jewish couple leaving East London hospital

It has been reported that three schoolgirls shouted “Hitler, Hitler” at a Jewish couple leaving a hospital in East London.

The girls, described as being Black and around fourteen years of age, allegedly shouted the comments outside of The City Academy in Hackney. 

The victims, a man and his pregnant wife, were leaving a hospital in Homerton following a maternity appointment.

The incident took place yesterday and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over three hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than four times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.
