What FACTLY found

The video dates back to 26 January 2022 and shows an anti-Semitic attack in North London, unrelated to the June 2025 Israel-Iran conflict. According to reports, an 18-year-old named Malachi Thorpe attacked two Orthodox Jewish shop owners, Israel Grossman and Erwin Ginsberg, outside their shop in Stamford Hill, on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day. CCTV footage shows him punching them and shouting anti-Semitic slurs. He was arrested and charged with religiously aggravated assault.
