A Jewish protestor was 'pulled to the ground and kicked repeatedly in the head' outside a pro-Corbyn antisemitism meeting in London this evening.

The female victims were recording the doorway to the event in Islington, north London, on Tuesday when they were attacked by two women, video footage has shown.

The attackers set upon the group of protesters who were waving Israeli flags.

It is not clear at this stage if the women were attending the meeting which was being co-hosted by the Corbyn, Antisemitism and Justice for Palestine group at The Old Fire Station.

Ambrosine Shitrit, who was on Facebook Live when the incident started, said the pair had been talking to security guards, after passing through iron gates outside, indicating they were heading into the meeting via the front entrance.

The protesters were shouting 'shame on you' when the two women turned and approached them.

Ms Shitrit, 51, told MailOnline: 'They were heading in and talking to security guards, they were late, and they saw that I was filming.

'One of them women got extremely angry and told me to stop photographing her- but I was filming as I had been all evening.

'She was trying to grab my phone and it fell to the floor and then she really went for me.

'I went around the car and went back into the fray where my friend was and the other girl went for me.

'My colleague Sharon had been grabbed and pushed to the floor and they were repeatedly kicking her in the head. They took her phone and ran away.'

The victims said they believe the women were linked to Momentum, the grassroots groups, which had many members in attendance, they said.

Ms Shitrit who runs Eye on Anti-Semitism had earlier been asked to leave the meeting which she was trying to record for her organisation which monitors the Labour party and associated groups.

Outside the protesters campaigned loudly shouting 'shame on you' at those inside, before they were approached.

Ms Shitrit: 'I know they were with Momentum because they passed through the gate. They knew who we were and what we were doing, we were waving flags.

'I have never seen a woman get so angry, it was like she wanted to kill me.'

Police at Scotland Yard refused to answer whether or not they were investigating the incident as a hate crime, saying it was 'too early' to say.

One of the women who was involved in the incident was accused of stealing a phone from the scene. It is not clear if they are linked to Momentum or the PSC group

An initial statement said: 'Police were called at approximately 8.20pm on Tuesday, 16 October to reports of a protest on Mayton Street, N7.

'Officers attended and were advised that one person had been assaulted, sustaining minor injuries.

'There have been no arrests and the crowd had dispersed by 9pm.'

The woman who was kicked is now in Whittington Hospital with what has been described as 'serious concussion'.

A PSC spokesperson said of Ms Shitrit's presence at the meeting: 'When she was asked to stop filming she disrupted the meeting for several minutes, shouting at panel members and the audience before being politely escorted out.

'Her own video records these incidents as well as her joining a group of pro-Israel protestors outside the meeting who proceed to harass people entering. We later became aware that after Ms Shitrit was asked to leave, an incident took place outside the building while the meeting was still going on.

'We are not aware of the details of what happened but we understand it is being investigated by police, as is appropriate if there are allegations of assault.'
