A shocking anti-Semitic incident is stirring up the Jewish community in London: five masked, Arabic-speaking attackers brutally attacked a 22-year-old Israeli man in the heart of the Golders Green Jewish neighborhood, wounding him all over his body.

The incident, which occurred around 2:00 a.m., is being defined by the authorities and Jewish security organizations as an antisemitic hate crime.
The victim sought medical treatment, suffering from cuts, severe bruises, and signs of violence all over his body and face.
The attack occurred when the Israeli, who lives in London, stepped outside his apartment to make a phone call in Hebrew, without disturbing his sleeping partners. Five masked men, speaking Arabic among themselves and walking nearby, spotted him - and began chasing him. They grabbed the stunned young man, forcibly dragged him across the road and began kicking him viciously, while hurling curses and insults at him in Arabic.
The attackers tore his clothes, threw away his shoes and stole one of them before fleeing the scene, after a neighbor who heard the injured man's cries called the police.
The young man who recalled the moments of terror in a conversation with the Jewish Chronicle: "In one second, suddenly one of them ran towards me and jumped on me. They caught me completely off guard. I just closed my eyes and tried to protect myself as they kicked me over and over again. I had a feeling I was going to die.".
