A father pushing his children in a baby carriage near the Lubavitch House was set upon by a masked man, according to CCTV published by the Shomrim on Monday. The man attempted to wrest away the baby carriage, but the father resisted.
“Clear CCTV footage shows the terrifying moments of the attempted kidnap of a Jewish child and baby,” said the Shomrim.
Possibly ‘racist attack’
The attack, which took place during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, was according to the Shomrim believed by witnesses to be a “racist attack.”
The Shomrim said that the father had not yet come forward, and appealed for him and further witnesses to speak to police.
The Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to requests from The Jerusalem Post for comment.
