A teenager has been charged for an attack on two Jewish men in North London on Jan. 26, the night before International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Tottenham resident Malaki Thorpe, 18, has been charged with two counts of racially aggravated actual bodily harm and one count of possession of an offensive weapon. A spokesperson for the metropolitan police said the attack is being handled as a hate crime.
Surveillance video footage caught the unprovoked attack on tape; it shows the attacker continuously punching their victims until they were knocked to the ground.
Shomrim, which posted the video on social media, helped police find Thorpe, reported The Jewish Chronicle.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was “appalled” by the incident.
“This attack is a terrible reminder, on Holocaust Memorial Day, that such prejudice is not consigned to history, but remains a very real problem in society,” he said. “We must stamp out anti-Semitism.”

Perhaps the young man needed a free warm place to sleep at, with free hot meals served, for the rest of the winter, and read a bit too much of O. Henry….
Of course, it’s also possible that he is an African Muslim (תרתי לרעותא), who is so full of hatred that he was ready to go to jail for his beliefs.
The Britons have a problem with Michael Savage but not some terroristic Muslim.
