Police are hunting for a group of 'racist thugs' who beat up a Jewish man in South Tottenham.

Alen Shelton, 58, was walking home along Craven Park Road on Friday, May 5, when he was approached by a dozen teenagers at around 11pm. The teens, who were all black and thought to be aged between 15 and 17- years-old, knocked him to the ground and kicked him.

Mr Shelton's shoulder was broken in the beating leaving him unable to care for his wheelchair-bound wife.

He said: "I am too scared to go out now. These people do not realise the consequences of what they have done."

A police spokesman said: "We will make every effort to identify those responsible for this callous attack on a defenceless, law abiding member of the Jewish community.

"We would welcome any information that would assist us to bring these racist thugs to justice."
