A Jewish man stepped outside to “make a phone call” and just by pure chance a group of antisemitic thugs happened to be walking past and instinctively somehow knew this man was Jewish

He was speaking Hebrew, that's how they identified him as Jewish.

beat him up so lightly that the police could interview the victim within 6 minutes of the incident and proceeded to not take him to the hospital so he visited of his own volition?

It's a populated area of London, they likely couldn't do more before people intervened.

I've read the original report that the Guardian story is based on now and despite having more detail it still reads very weird.

There's something either being omitted or embellished.

Like the assailants and victim may have known each other but for some reason the victim isn't disclosing that. Fuck knows. It's shite being on the receiving end of a beating though, hopefully they recover soon.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
