London Synagogue attack has injured one member of the Ahavas Torah in London after a group of 20 intoxicated people assaulted the place. The attack happened on Sunday in a London suburb of Stamford Hill as the group tried to force entry in the synagogue.
Attackers at the London Synagogue attack vandalize the property, hit the Jewish worshippers and shouted threats such as "Kill the Jews." Worshippers inside the synagogue protected themselves by using objects and chairs as the drunken attackers approach the entry.
"The incident is being treated as an anti-Semitic incident, due to remarks made by one of the group," London's Metropolitan police mentioned in a statement. "However, there is nothing to suggest it was a planned or targeted attack."
Two British women and four British men were taken into custody following the London Synagogue attack. As YNetNews reports, the group of 20 had forced its way to the synagogue after they allegedly attended a house party near the place.
A YouTube video of the London Synagogue attack emerged where the London police treat the incident as anti-Semitic attack although ABC News claims that there was no clear evidence to consider the assault was intentional. The investigators revealed that it was plainly done by intoxicated people.
Stamford Hill is where the biggest Orthodox Jewish communities can be found in Europe. There were more or less 30,000 Hasidic Jews at the area.
After the London Synagogue attack, the investigators continue to search for other attackers involved in the incident. The London police also reported added police patrols in Stamford Hill to protect the community.
The assault took place before a hotline was activated dedicated to victims of anti-Semitism. According to the Community Security Trust, since Feb. 2014, the victims of anti-Semitism incidents doubled from 1,168.
The London Synagogue attack happened at the height of celebration of the end of the sabbath at the Ahavas Torah synagogue. One worshipper was injured when he was punched in the face and was hit outside the synagogue.
