A Jewish man has reportedly been punched in the face in Stamford Hill.

The alleged victim was said to be walking with a friend in towards Braydon Road Clapton Common when the suspect, described as being a Black male riding a bicycle, supposedly intentionally rode into the victim’s friend. 

The suspect reportedly then turned around and punched the victim in the face, breaking his glasses.

The alleged incident 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 five hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than five times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.

Campaign Against Antisemitism works closely with Shomrim, with whom we have an information-sharing agreement.
