Last Friday, a Jewish rabbi was attacked by a gang of teenagers in the Stamford Hill neighborhood of northeast London. The reports indicate that the youths shouted at the rabbi with antisemitic cries: "Kill the Jews" and "Les ... them" while attacking him, while he did not contact or provoke them in any form.

The boys were reportedly not content with just the assault. The attackers decided to abandon the rabbi, who was older than them, leaving blood on the floor. The serious incident was investigated by the local police and by the "guards" organization (community policing - Jews working in cooperation with the local police). However, after the serious incident, the attacker rushed to make his way to Israel.

Rabbi Herschel Glick, president of "guards" at Stamford Hill, wrote on Facebook: "For a government that claims to be concerned about anti-Semitism, it is just one assault from a long sequence of such events, for which there is no credible response or follow-up."
