Two teenage girls arrested in brutal beating of Jewish woman in suspected hate crime

Two girls aged 13 and 14 were arrested in connection to the violent assault on a 20-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman that was caught on camera in north London last week.

The reported arrests come after the violent assault was captured by surveillance cameras and publicized on social media by Shomrim, a Jewish neighborhood watch group. The shocking video shows the woman being pulled to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked as she lay motionless on the street. The suspects then fled with the woman's handbag as bystanders stopped to check on the victim.

"The brutal attack ended after the two female offenders kept on kicking the unconscious victim in the head before laughing over her body and, according to witness reports, saying joyfully she's ‘dead,'" the group said in a post on X.  "She was left collapsed and unresponsive in a puddle and appeared unconscious for a few minutes."
