Hampstead is one of the most Jewish areas of the country, with the last census reporting that 11 per cent of the ward identified as Jewish.
A spokesperson for Shomrim north-west London said the charity had “responded to reports at Hampstead Underground Station regarding a racially motivated assault on three Jewish boys.
“Suspects are believed to be a group of six to seven males. One of the victims was admitted to hospital for observation.”
In their statement released on Tuesday, Shomrim said they were appealing for “any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Please contact us on 0300 999 1234 quoting reference NW209 - 26 May 2025.”

“Shomrim specialises in reporting and supporting victims of antisemitic crime, all reports are handled with sensitivity and urgency,” the charity said.
