The Met Police say the boy was not injured and the incident is not being treated as a hate crime.

Watch the shocking moment a gang pick up and take away a nine-year-old Jewish boy who was travelling home from School in London, before he was dumped crying in a front garden.

The footage shows the incident which took place in Stamford Hill just before 6pm last Thursday, where the boy when walking along a pavement was approached by a gang of five.


A member of the group crosses the road while holding him and out of the camera’s view.

A supervisor of neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, Chaim Hochhauser, told MailOnline the boy has been left too scared to go out alone since the incident.

He claimed the group, called 'Webb Estate gang', are aged 14 to 16 and have been carrying out attacks against Jewish children in the area for over a year.

The Met Police say the boy was not injured and the incident is not being treated as a hate crime.

Stamford Hill Police has further confirmed it is aware of concern around individuals connected to the area, and is increasing patrolling in the area.

Shomrim posted the clip online last night, writing: 'Webb Estate Gang carry off a frightened Jewish boy on way back from school.

'Another horrible racist attack by this vile lawless gang.'

Over the past month, the group has shared four posts with the hashtag #WebbEstateGang.

A spokesperson for the Met said: 'Police were called at around 18:30hrs on Thursday, 9 December to a report that a group of teenagers had approached a boy, aged nine, as he was walking down Osbaldeston Road, N16.

'It was reported that one of the group picked up the boy and carried him to a nearby front garden where they let him go. He received no injuries.

'Officers attended and spoke to the victim’s mother. She did not wish to take any further action and the incident is not being treated as a hate crime.

'One suspect has been identified and issued with an anti-social behaviour warning. Enquiries are underway to identify others involved.'

Shortly after footage was posted of the latest alleged attack, Stamford Hill Police also said: 'We are aware of concern around individuals connected to #WebbEstate.

'Safer neighbourhood team officers have been patrolling in response and are making good progress in identifying suspects.

'Individuals connected are being investigated for both ASB [anti-social behaviour] and more serious criminal offences.'
