| Mr Brigo Any comment ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1527z272lyo "Jewish man 'kicked like animal' in Golders Green attack" 'Police are investigating an attack on a young Jewish man who was visiting London from Israel, who says he was kicked and beaten by a group of men. The 22-year-old, who does not want to be fully identified, suffered injuries to his face, neck and back in the assault in The Grove, Golders Green in the early hours of Monday. He told the BBC: "They kicked me like an animal and didn't stop. They were shouting 'Are you Jewish'? I was thinking they could kill me." The man was taken to hospital for treatment but has since been discharged. The Metropolitan Police is treating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime. No arrests have been made. The assault is the latest in a series of attacks on Jewish targets in London and follows last month's stabbings in Golders Green, north London. The victim told the BBC he was speaking to friends on the phone when a group of about five men who he believes were speaking Arabic swore at him and attacked him. He said he tried to protect his face as the men ripped at his trousers and left him with one shoe. The victim said he believed he was targeted because he was speaking Hebrew and was Jewish'. Also from BBC News - 'A new £30m High Street organised crime unit has been announced by the government after the BBC's year-long investigative reporting into illegal mini-marts, vape shops and barbers. Over 12 months BBC News exposed drug gangs, child sexual exploitation reports, money laundering, immigration crime and ghost directors linked to shop fronts selling illegal cigarettes and illegal vapes'. No details given of the ethnicity of those operating these establishments (must not appear 'racist'), but just take a look inside next time you go past one. |
