London - Police Arrest Youths Suspected of Anti-Semitic Attack Against Girl, 12

London - Six youths were arrested by Barnet police this week in connection with a vicious anti-Semitic attack on a 12-year-old girl, that left her unconscious with a fractured eye socket as was reported on VOS IZ NEIAS.

Police said that four 14-year-old girls, a 10-year-old girl and a boy aged 10, had been arrested and released on bail in connection with the attack, which shocked London’s Jewish community.
The girl was traveling with a friend on a number 303 bus between Colindale and Edgware when the pair were approached at Mill Hill Broadway by a group of girls and a boy. The 12-year-old said: “She started hitting me with a phone on my cheekbones to wind me up and she slapped me three times really hard. “I don’t remember what happened until I was on the floor screaming. My friend was in the corner screaming for help. I woke up with someone stamping on my face. “She got off me. Then she pulled my hair and screamed, ‘Get her phone, get her phone’. I think I slapped her and my friend pulled me down the steps to get to the door. “Everyone on the bus looked at us like we were mad. We were screaming for him to open the door.”
Despite her screams of terror, fellow passengers looked on and said nothing until eventually a boy forced the door open so they could make their escape.
 
Her father expressed gratitude to the police, who he said had been “very supportive and have taken this very seriously. They were willing to investigate every avenue to find them”.
