A 13-year-old Jewish boy has been punched in the stomach on a London bus by an attacker who shouted ‘you stupid Jews think you own the world’.
The youngster had been travelling along High Road towards Stamford Hill in North London at 11.45am on Sunday when he was targeted, neighbourhood watch group Shomrim said.
It comes after anti-semitic graffiti was daubed on shops and cafes in Hampstead, north London, last month.
A tweet posted by the Shomrim group, said a male hit the boy, who was Jewish, and shouted: ‘You stupid Jews think you own the world.’
The Met confirmed it had received a report of anti-Semitic abuse and an assault taking place on a bus in the Stamford Hill area.
A Met spokesman said no arrests have been made and inquiries continue.
There were no reports of any serious injuries, Scotland Yard said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 4968/5Jan.
