A 14-year-old Jewish schoolgirl has been rushed to hospital with head and facial wounds following an attack in Stamford Hill, the local Shomrim (neighborhood security) reported on Tuesday afternoon.
Several young Jewish girls were reportedly heading back from a rehearsal when a male attacker on a balcony pelted them with glass bottles. The attack took place on Woodberry Down Estate.
One of the girls is said to be badly wounded and was rushed to the Royal London Hospital by Hatzola.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the Jewish Chronicle that the group of schoolgirls had been walking through the estate on Monday evening when a bottle was thrown from the upper floor of a building.
As a result, one sixteen-year-old girl was struck on the head, however, her wounds have been determined as non-life changing.
Potential hate crime
The officer said that the police were unable to locate the suspect, and the incident is being treated as a "potential antisemitic hate crime."
Earlier this year, a 16-year-old Jewish boy was chased through Stamford Hill, an area of London with a large ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, by three males throwing stones.
