CCTV footage appears to show man spraying liquid onto Jewish mother and child
CCTV footage released online appears to show a man spraying a liquid onto a Jewish mother and child.
In the footage, a woman can be seen pushing a small child in a pram whilst speaking on the phone.
On the left of the screen, it then appears that a man wearing a baseball cap walks past the woman and sprays her with a liquid from a can in his hand.
The woman can then be seen to have stopped walking in order to turn around and look at the man.
The alleged incident occurred in Stamford Hill and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol, who has said that the man threw beer over the mother and child.
If you have any more information, please contact the police on 101 or Stamford Hill Shomrim on 0300 999 0123, quoting reference number: CAD 720 06/01/23
Campaign Against Antisemitism works closely with Shomrim, with whom we have a data-sharing agreement.
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.
