A Jewish boy has been hospitalised following a “racially motivated assault” at Hampstead Underground station, according to Jewish security charity Shomrim.
The British Transport Police are treating the incident as a “racially aggravated assault and robbery.”
Three Jewish boys were attacked by a group of six to seven men at the tube station in north-west London on the bank holiday, Shomrim said in a statement.
One of the victims of the attack was admitted to hospital for observation.
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.”
