A man armed with a bottle chased Jewish girls shouting praise for Hitler on Sunday, Jewish patrol group Shomrim said.

The girls were socialising outside their home in Hackney when the man came to them and threw the bottle, shouting ‘Hitler is a good man, good he killed the Jews’.

Chaim Hochhauser from Stamford Hill Shomrim said: ‘This was a terrifying experience for the young victims who were targeted in this unprovoked antisemitic attack.’

The group of girls, two aged 15 and 16 with several as young as eight, ran inside to get away in the incident just before 7pm on Sunday evening.

The suspect is described as a light skinned male in his twenties, wearing a dark coloured short sleeved t-shirt.

‘We’re not aware of any arrests so far,’ the group told Metro.co.uk.

Shomrim is a Jewish group of volunteers who patrol their neighbourhoods and help deal with any crimes in the area including this attack in Heron Drive.

Mr Hochhauser said: ‘There have been many antisemitic incidents in Stamford Hill recently, and it just seems to be getting worse.’

‘Shomrim will continue to assist and support the victims.’

The group has posted recently about incidents including anti-semitic graffiti daubed on bus stops.

The messages were found in Amhurst Park in Stamford Hill, where there is a large Orthodox Jewish population, last week.

A Met Police spokesman said: ‘Police in Hackney are appealing for witnesses and information after a man verbally abused two young women and threw a bottle at one of them in an unprovoked attack.

‘At approximately 7pm on Sunday, 27 August a man approached the victims – aged 16 and 15 – on Heron Drive, N4 and began shouting anti-Semitic abuse at them before throwing a glass bottle that narrowly missed one of the teenagers.

‘The incident has left the victims badly shaken.’

The suspect is described as being a light skinned male in his early twenties, with a slim build and was wearing a black t-shirt, black trousers and wearing a black cross body bag.
