A Jewish woman was robbed and kicked in the head in a shocking incident which reportedly left her unconscious.
CCTV video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, by neighbourhood watch group Shomrin showed the woman, 20, being chased across the road before being set upon by two female attackers. The unnamed victim was left unconscious after the attack on Thursday, December 7, which is feared to have been racially motivated and a witness heard one of the attackers say “she’s dead” before leaving.
The young victim had her bag stolen and sustained bruising in the incident in Haringey, but did not require hospital treatment. Shomrin wrote on social media: “The brutal attack ended after the two female offenders kept on kicking the unconscious victim in the head before laughing over her body and according to witness reports saying joyfully she's "dead"!
The moment of the attack was caught on CCTV (Shomrim)“Volunteers have spent all night recovering CCTV and searching for witnesses. Shomrim are supporting the victim and her family.” Detective Inspector Mike Herrick, who is leading the investigation from the robbery unit, said: “This was a shocking incident and terrifying experience for the victim who was lucky to not receive more serious injuries. We don’t underestimate the psychological impact of offences such as these and we are offering her every support as we work to identify the suspects.
"We know footage of the incident has been widely shared on social media and understand there will be added concerns about the motivation behind the attack. We will of course keep an open mind about the motive and continue to work closely with the local community to allay any fears.” Anyone with information which could assist the investigation is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 5505/07Dec.
