The third day of London rioting threatens members of the large Jewish community in Stamford Hill. They have been advised not to walk alone and to be careful when going to synagogue on Tisha B’Av Tuesday.
Gas stations have been closed. More than 450 people have been arrested since Saturday, when police shot a motorist in Tottenham, which is comprised mainly of immigrant and second and third-generation immigrants.
One London resident told Arutz Sheva Tuesday afternoon that Jewish businessmen and professionals are not able to travel to nearby offices, where many of their premises have been looted.
She added that the riots have-not reached Stamford Hill – yet. The riots have spread to only a short walk from Stamford Hill, which is home to thousands of orthodox Jews. Police stopped a riot from getting out of hand in Golders Green, another community with a large Jewish population.
Police are battling to regain control of the riots that began in Tottenham and spread to other London districts as well as Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol. Read the rest on: Arutz7
