The three visibly Jewish children are believed to have been the only passengers attacked during the incident, which took place on a bus in Clapton Common.
CCTV footage has been captured showing two men running for the number 253 bus, with one slipping at the back door, appearing to attack Jewish passengers, before some passengers begin to exit the bus.
The victims had their hats thrown off and one was punched in the eye.
The incident took place at around 08:15 on the morning of 24th November and was reported by Shomrim Stamford Hill, a Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
The Org. said it’s shocked by it despite the bus being full of passengers and only three visible Jews being attacked.

That’s fine.
As long as they are consistent and
when someone gets their hajib thrown off also not consider it a hate crime.
I grew up in Stamford Hill late in the 1960s and 1970s we lived on a block that had very few yidden, like most of Stamford Hill in those days. there was no transportation to and from cheder in those days my siblings and myself would very often get beat up real bad, very often objects that were thrown at the windows of our house shattering whenever my father a”h was home he would chase them down and beat them up real good, a few times he missed the mark and beat up teddy boys who weren’t guilty in this particular incident, but sure enough the incidents slowed down to a trickle, my father also said you have to learn how to defend yourself otherwise you are an easy target. realizing that he had a point two of my brothers and myself took judo lessons and worked hard to be able to stand up for ourselves, word soon spread that if mess with this family they fight back and they looked for easier targets
This sort of passing the buck also occurs in the USA. For example, whenever an obvious terrorist attack occurs in the USA, the local law enforcement authorities, in concert with the FBI, are always hesitant to label it as such. It could be months or even years, before they do so. For example, in the case of Ari Halberstam, who was killed in 1994 on the Brooklyn Bridge, by a Jordanian nationalist, the FBI would not classify that hate crime, as an act of terrorism, for years. Also, in Columbus, Ohio, a two years ago, there were two incidents of terrorism, which took place within a few months of each other. In one case, a terrorist attacked an Israeli owned restaurant with a machete. He knew it was an Israeli restaurant, because the Israeli flag was prominently displayed in the window. He came in and started slashing the customers. When he tried to attack a cop, he was shot dead. Yet, for months, the Columbus Police Dept., as well as the FBI would also not label that crime, as an act of terrorism. They didn’t want to offend the local Muslim community. Then, there was the case of another terrorist, who decided to take his car onto the campus of Ohio State University, and ram several students. Then, he got out of his car with a knife, and started attacking other students. This attack was similar to terror incidents, which have occurred in EY. Fortunately, an OSU cop confronted the terrorist immediately, and shot him dead. The spineless authorities in Columbus, Ohio, both at the local and federal level, would not immediately classify that attack as terrorism. All they would say was “well, we don’t know what his motives were”. As someone once said “If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck”.
