A 13-year-old boy was punched in the stomach and told “you stupid Jews think you own the world” in an attack on a London bus.

According to Shomrim, the young boy was travelling towards Stamford Hill just before midday on Sunday when he was attacked.

Shomrim identified the attacker as a man, who shouted antisemitic abuse such as “you f*** Jews”.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed it had received a report of antisemitic abuse and an assault. No arrests have been made and enquiries continue.

They added they had not received any reports of serious injuries.

The previous weekend, antisemitic graffiti which made reference to 9/11 was daubed in Belsize Park and Hampstead, including on South Hampstead Synagogue.

A spokesperson for the Board of Deputies of British Jews said: “This unprovoked racist assault is sickening. The vile individual who perpetrated this attack must be arrested and subjected to the full force of the law.”

Anyone with information that could assist enquiries is asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 4968/5Jan.
