Man reportedly grabs twelve-year-old identifiably Jewish boy by his throat before throwing him off bus

A passenger on a London bus reportedly grabbed a twelve-year-old identifiably Jewish boy by his throat before throwing him off.

The boy was said to be making his way home from school on the 476 bus when he was allegedly assaulted by the 50-year-old man.

The alleged incident occurred at around 18:00 on Monday and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
