Police said the men involved were drunk, and they were believed to have walked to the area from a house party nearby.

One worshiper was punched in the face, sustaining minor facial injuries, while trying to prevent the men from entering the house of worship, while they were shouting anti-Semitic slurs.

"The incident is being treated as an anti-Semitic incident, due to remarks made by one of the group," a Metropolitan Police spokesman said, explaining that after entering they were removed by the temple's security staff. The spokesperson said however that "there is nothing to suggest that it was a planned or targeted attack." Police said they would step up patrols to provide reassurance to the local community. "We are investigating to establish the full circumstances of the incident and to identify anyone else involved in the disturbance who has not yet been arrested," a local police inspector told the BBC. "We have also increased police patrols in the Stamford Hill area to provide reassurance to the community." Stamford Hill is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in Europe, with about 30,000 Hasidic Jews living in the area. Source: Ynet
