Jewish boy, 13, punched in the stomach in vile anti-Semitic attack on a bus in North London
A JEWISH boy of 13 was punched and abused in a sickening anti-Semitic attack on a bus.
The 13-year-old victim was struck in the stomach before being subjected to a tirade of anti-Semitic abuse in London.
The helpless schoolboy was attacked while on a bus on High Road heading towards Stamford Hill around 11.45am on Sunday.
Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim tweeted about the vile ordeal before it was retweeted by the Metropolitan Police’s Haringey account.
The tweet said a male hit the boy, who was Jewish, and shouted: “You stupid Jews think you own the world.”
The Met confirmed it had received a report of anti-Semitic abuse and an assault in the Stamford Hill area.
A Met spokesman said no arrests have been made and inquiries continue.
There were no reports of any serious injuries, Scotland Yard said.

It comes less than a month after a man was arrested when another bus passenger was targeted with anti-Semitic abuse in the same area.
The victim, 36, was reading a prayer book while when another man boarded the bus near Stamford Hill, which has a large Jewish population.
The suspect made a number of anti-Semitic comments at the victim before also verbally abusing a group of teenage girls on the bus, according to police.
