14-year-old subjected to antisemitic abuse and threatened by unknown man in Stamford hill

Stamford hill, London – While returning to his home
at approximately 03:30 on 2nd September, a 14-year-old boy became aware of
shouts of “Jew, Jew” being directed at him by a man on a bicycle. He bravely
confronted the man who repeatedly asked him: “What do you have?” The man then
asked “Do you have a knife?” at which point the boy ran home. The incident was
witnessed from the house by his mother, who told us that it left her feeling
scared and worried that the streets are not as safe as she had believed.

 

The victim described the man as having a beard and a big
double chin, and wearing a heavy jacket and trousers. The incident occured in
Holmleigh Road and has now been reported to the police by the victim’s mother.
