Stamford Hill: Man guilty of attacking three Jewish people

(BBC) A man has been found guilty of carrying out antisemitic attacks on three Jewish people.

Abdullah Qureshi, 30, from Dewsbury, travelled to north London and attacked three people over two hours in Stamford Hill on 18 August.

His targets included a 14-year-old boy on his way to night school.

A 64-year-old man was knocked out as he made his way to the synagogue and his other victim, a teacher, was hit on the head with a plastic bottle.

Qureshi will be sentenced next month.

He told Stratford Magistrates’ Court “it was just a coincidence” his three victims were all wearing traditional orthodox Jewish clothing.
