A 14-year-old girl has been rushed to hospital after being pelted with glass bottles in “an abhorrent hate crime” in Stamford Hill, a neighbourhood security service has said.
A group of young Jewish girls were on their way to a rehearsal when the bottles were allegedly thrown at them by a man on a balcony at Woodberry Down Estate.
Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which protects the Jewish population in Stamford Hill, said the attack had “shocked the community”.
It explained one teenager suffered head and facial injuries during the attack.
She was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.
The group added in a post on X: “Shomrim are supporting the victims & their families whilst @MPSHackney investigate this abhorrent Hate Crime.”
The London Ambulance Service confirmed that the Jewish ambulance service Hatzola had attended the scene.
The Met Police has been contacted for comment.
