Three Charedi youths reportedly attacked on Hackney bus
Orthodox neighbourhood watch group Shomrim said: “One victim was punched in the eye, all three had their hats thrown off.”
Three Orthodox Jewish children said they were attacked on a bus in the borough of Hackney on Sunday morning as nearby CCTV captured images of those wanting in connection to the incident.
Orthodox neighbourhood watch group Shomrim said the fracas occurred on a parked 253 bus in Clapton Common, adding: “One victim was punched in the eye, all three had their hats thrown off.”
Two black males are seen running to the bus from CCTV images captured from the street, and are wanted in connection with the incident, which Shomrim described as a “hate crime”.
