Shocking CCTV footage shows a man attacking three Jewish children on a bus and throwing their hats on the ground.

The suspect is filmed running onto a 253 bus before slipping in the rain at the door.

He gets up and boards the bus before a man is seen attacking several orthodox Jewish males standing up.

Other passengers are then filmed picking up their hats and leaving the bus to get away from the violence.


The London Shomrim, a volunteer-led neighbourhood watch, shared the video and claimed the man threw all three hats to the floor and punched one of the boys.



They have also released a picture of a man wanted in connection with the disturbing incident.

It happened in Clapton Common, near Stamford Hill, an orthodox Jewish area of north London, and has been described as an ‘anti-Semitic attack’ by faith leaders in the community.

Just last week, a Jewish family was racially abused on the London Underground before a Muslim woman intervened.
