“Jews don’t belong on the pavement”: Hundreds of Jewish people abused leaving synagogue in Stamford Hill

Hundreds of Jewish men and boys have been abused on their way home from attending prayers at their local synagogue, it has been reported.

A woman allegedly blocked the group’s path and shouted “Jews don’t belong on the pavement” and “f****** Jews”.

The incident is believed to have occurred on Friday night in the North London area of Stamford Hill and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
