Shocking moment orthodox Jewish man is punched in the head by thug on a bike in North London in latest 'antisemitic' assault in the capital - as police hunt attacker

This is the shocking moment an orthodox Jewish man was punched in the head by a thug on a bike in North London in the latest 'antisemitic' assault in the capital. 

CCTV footage posted on social media shows a man speeding along the pavement in Stamford Hill before colliding with the Jewish man and coming to a halt. 

The thug then appears to grab the victim by the collar before punching him in the face and pushing him away. 

The biker then rides away while members of the public assist the man who has just been assaulted. 

People on X reacted to the footage posted online, with one saying: 'Literally disgusting. I hope they find this man.' 

Another said: 'Turn in this hateful human being to police.' 

The ordeal comes after a pro-Palestinian mob holding racist banners claimed the Labour Party was 'Zionist' and 'racist' during a rally yesterday evening. 

Protesters chanted 'Labour Party, Zionist Party' and 'Labour Party, Racist Party' at the demonstration near Westminster Bridge in central London.

The mob had reportedly followed Labour Party officials to the area and continued their protest while they were in a meeting.

The protest is the latest in weeks of pro-Palestine demonstrations in the capital. While largely peaceful, protests around the UK have been marred by some demonstrators' anti-Semitic chanting and signs.

The anger towards Labour camejust days after a pro-Palestine activist engaged Sir Keir Starmer in a tense exchange which saw the party leader quizzed over his stance on the Gaza crisis.

One sign at the rally last night said: 'The coconuts are getting paid. Men, women and Gaza betrayed.'

Another said: 'No votes for genocide supporters,' signalling the protester's anger at the opposition's response to the bloodshed in Gaza.

Labour has been severely split over the crisis, which has seen more than 18,000 Palestinians killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Several Labour MPs have responded by calling for a ceasefire - contrary to the party line.

Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police was blasted after telling protesters in Trafalgar Square to stop waving Israeli flags because it is a 'heritage site' - despite the square playing host to several pro-Palestine rallies in recent weeks.

In a video shared online by the campaign group Eye on Antisemitism, the officer can be heard telling a protester to take the flag 'off the wall' in front of the National Gallery before he is then challenged by someone filming the exchange.

During the two-minute clip, the Met constable says: 'You're not meant to be here because this is a protected heritage site, so you need a licence to be here, to do what you're doing.

'You didn't have one in the first place and we've been nice enough to let you be here, alright?'

The person filming claims during the clip that the officer 'got jittery' after someone shouted 'Free Palestine' - and points out that the square has been the site of many pro-Palestine rallies in the last two months.
