Jewish children reportedly assaulted and stolen from by teenage gang in Stamford Hill
Jewish children have been abused and stolen from by teenagers in Stamford Hill according to two reported incidents.
In one such incident, teenagers reportedly broke into a block of flats where they found children between the ages of four and six playing amongst themselves before pouring water on them and proceeding to steal their toys. It has been alleged that the teenagers also stole other residents’ belongings from the communal area of the building.
The assailants were believed to have been a mixture of young men and women and video footage appears to show two people running out of the building.

In a separate incident, the same gang of teenagers is believed to have assaulted an eleven-year-old and one-year-old baby in a play area. The perpetrators, who were said to have been young-looking women of Black ethnicity, reportedly poured yoghurt over the infant and buggy and threw ice lollies at them whilst hurling verbal abuse.
