British police arrested a man after two separate incidents in which three members of Stamford Hill’s Jewish community, including a three-year-old child, were rammed with an e-scooter, local Jewish security charity Shomrim shared.
The Metropolitan Police reportedly arrested the alleged assailant for racially aggravated common assault and common assault after the community group tailed the suspect.
The incidents took place on Monday afternoon in the North London community known for its large Orthodox Jewish community.
Footage of the incidents, captured on CCTV and shared by the Shomrim, shows a man riding his e-scooter on the sidewalk and colliding with a 21-year-old Orthodox woman. The man reportedly shouted “f***ing Jews” during the ramming.
The victim suffered a fractured arm, bruising to her leg, and a facial scar as a result of the impact, the Shomrim claimed. She was taken to the hospital for medical treatment after the alleged assault.

On that same day, the man was recorded shoving his scooter into a 24-year-old Jewish woman and her three-year-old daughter.
The Shomrim said the three-year-old was left “shocked and traumatised” after the impact pushed her onto the ground.
The charity said the incidents were “unprovoked antisemitic attacks” and “a shocking act of rogue violence against women and girls.”
