London car drives toward Jewish students; police seek witnesses

Police are appealing for witnesses after a black car mounted the kerb and drove toward three visibly Jewish students waiting to cross in Finchley, northwest London, on 20 April around 15:40 BST. The Met says the incident is being treated as a religiously aggravated assault with no injuries reported; Hasmonean High School and CST are involved, and 100 extra officers have been deployed to protect London’s Jewish communities amid a rise in antisemitic hate crimes.
