The footage shows a Jewish man being threatened by a group of four men after they park and get out of their car in Stamford Hill, north London.
Shocking CCTV showing the 'attempted kidnap' of a Jewish man in Stamford Hill will renew fears the area is being singled out by violent bigots due to its large Jewish community.
Shomrim, a local community watch group, warned Stamford Hill was being targeted due to being a 'Jewish neighbourhood'. Many residents dress in traditional black hats and coats, making them easily identifiable.Stamford Hill, in the borough of Hackney, has been home to a large community of Hasidic Jews for more than a hundred years
Today, Stamford Hill is home to an estimated 25,000 ultra-orthodox Jews, according to local officials. The 30-year-old, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, attacked two men and a 14-year-old boy wearing Jewish dress on August 18, 2022. Shomrim also released a video they said showed a woman being 'beaten unconscious' by two attackers, who then stood over her and 'joked about her being dead'. Two girls were later arrested on suspicion of robbery.
Only when the Jewish man threatens to call the police do the men get back in their car and start driving away.The incident comes amid mounting concerns about anti-Semitic abuse in Britain, fuelled by the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict following the militant group's terror attacks last October 7.
