Two elderly Jewish men have been brutally attacked in London.
On Wednesday evening, the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day, a man attacked her in the street, according to video apparently taken from a surveillance camera.
Neighborhood Aid Shomrim published the video on Twitter.
The clip shows the two men, wearing yarmulkes on their heads and talking on the phone, stepping out of a building.
A man walks past the two and seems to be saying something to them, at least the two men are watching him.
The man turns and punches the two older men.
He attacks her several times, hitting her with his fist again and again.
Police in charge also commented on the incident on Twitter and said the attacker, an 18-year-old man, had been arrested.
Chief Inspector Simon Crick said: "On this important day, this is a terrible indication that hate crime still exists."
Several Twitter users described the attack as "absolutely disgusting".
