There is something very seriously wrong with people who are willing to just sit back and watch something like this. The driver should be fired.
A 12-year-old Jewish girl who was beaten unconscious and robbed by anti-Semitic yobs on a bus has spoken out at her disgust that no-one came to her aid.
The girl, who does not want to be identified, was stamped on several times in a racist attack lasting around five minutes while on board a 303 Metroline bus in Mill Hill, north London.
At 6.30pm on August 11, she and a friend were sitting at the back of the bus when a group of around four girls got on at the Concourse, Grahame Park estate, and asked them if they were English or Jewish.
They both replied they were “fully English”.
One girl in the group asked the victim for money, but she said she did not have any.
She and her friend tried to leave the bus at Mill Hill Broadway but were blocked by the gang who searched their pockets and stole a bracelet.
Driver didn’t open doors
One girl hit the victim around the face with her phone, slapped her several times, grabbed her hair and pulled her to the floor, where she was kicked and stamped on. She was left with a fractured eye socket, bruising and swelling to her face and chest.
“All I remember is her stamping on my face,” she said. “Me and my friend were screaming. Then I blacked out. There were four people on the bus who didn’t do anything.”
After regaining consciousness, the girl and her friend tried to pull the bus doors open to escape.
She said: “The driver heard the attack and didn’t open the doors. A boy opened the doors for us and I ran off.”
Scary.
My mother has the same story–only it was from pre-war Poland.
I cannot believe what I have just read. My goodness, what is this world coming to, where people would just allow this to happen? 🙁
