“Let’s punch them in the face”: Gang members reportedly target visibly Jewish children in Stamford Hill

Gang members have abused two visibly Jewish children, it has been reported.

The gang is believed to be associated with the nearby Webb Estate and is accused of harassing Jewish residents for years.

Two boys, eleven and seventeen, were walking to a nearby park with their bikes when members of the gang reportedly approached them and said: “Let’s get their bikes. Punch him in the face”. 

The boys managed to escape but claimed that these incidents occur on a daily basis.

The incident is believed to have occurred on 7th July in Springfield Park and was reported yesterday by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
