A Jewish boy has been hospitalised following a “racially motivated assault” at Hampstead Underground station on Monday evening, according to Jewish security charity Shomrim.

The British Transport Police are treating the incident as a “racially aggravated assault and robbery.”

Three Jewish boys were attacked by a group of six to seven men at the tube station in north-west London on the bank holiday, Shomrim said in a statement.

One of the victims of the attack was admitted to hospital for observation.
