In a shocking incident captured on CCTV, two Jewish children narrowly escaped an attempted kidnap on Thursday, June 13, a date that coincided with the Jewish holiday of Shavuos. The attack occurred at 11:56 BST outside Lubavitch House, a prominent community centre in Stamford Hill, N16.
The footage, which has been widely circulated on social media, shows the terrifying moments as an unidentified assailant tried to snatch a baby and a young child in broad daylight. The children, part of the local Jewish community, were with their family when the attack occurred.
