The Met Police is appealing for help identifying a man responsible for a “shocking” antisemitic attack on a father and son in North London earlier this month.
Officers were called at around 5.30pm on July 4 after a man in his 20s was assaulted alongside his three-year-old son in Markfield Park, the force confirmed.
The suspect is also reported to have threatened the victims as well as the wider Jewish community.
He was described as mixed-race and of medium height and muscular build, with short hair and a tattoo on his left bicep.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a white cap and riding a red-orange e-bike.
Police arrived 10 minutes after the incident was reported, and neither the father nor son required medical treatment.
Detective Constable Benny Palmer, who is leading the investigation, said: “This was a shocking, unprovoked attack and we know it will cause concern to the local community.
“We’re doing all we can to identify the offender and are asking the public to get in touch with us if they have any relevant information – particularly any footage that was filmed at the park during the early evening of Saturday, July 4 or those with doorbells or dashcams near to Crawford Road, Seven Sisters.
“Across the Met, we are continuing our work to provide visible, intelligence-led and co-ordinated patrols to protect our Jewish communities and keep people safe.”
People with information have been asked to contact the Met on 101, quoting 5884/4Jul, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
