A strictly Orthodox man was physically and verbally assaulted on Thursday night outside a synagogue.
According to Shomrim, the community volunteer security service, the attacker pushed his victim before shouting antisemitic slurs in a seemingly unprovoked incident outside a shul in Stamford Hill, north-east London.
Shomrim volunteers pursued the suspect and called police officers, who arrested him.
Barry Bard, Stamford Hill Shomrim co-ordinator, said: “This behaviour is totally unacceptable. Unfortunately antisemitic incidents are happening too often.
