Police in Hackney have arrested a man after two Jewish women, one of them hospitalized, were violently rammed in an antisemitic e-scooter attack on Clapton Common.

The shocking incident unfolded at around 2:20 p.m. on Monday, when the attacker allegedly shouted �[expletive] Jew� before charging his scooter into a 21-year-old woman. The impact left her with a fractured arm, a bruised leg, and a deep facial scar after she was chased into the road. She was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Moments later, the assailant struck again�slamming into a 24-year-old woman walking with her three-year-old daughter. The young mother was knocked to the ground, while her child was left shaken and traumatized by the unprovoked assault.

Footage released by Shomrim London North & East shows the rampage, which community leaders have condemned as part of a disturbing rise in antisemitic hate crimes in London. Shomrim volunteers pursued the suspect until Hackney Police intervened, arresting him on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault and common assault.

�This was a shocking antisemitic attack on innocent women going about their day. The swift response from Shomrim and the police ensured the attacker was tracked and detained before more people were harmed,� a Shomrim spokesperson said.

Authorities have yet to release further details about the suspect, but the Metropolitan Police confirmed he remains in custody as the investigation continues.
