Two masked individuals threw petrol-filled bottles at a synagogue in north London just after midnight on Wednesday and fled before police arrived. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that neither bottle caught fire and no one was hurt but said the attack at Finchley Reform Synagogue would be investigated as an antisemitic hate crime.
Officers from the Met's North West Command Unit are leading the inquiry with Counter Terrorism Policing London providing specialist support. The two suspects wore dark clothing and covered their faces with balaclavas. A brick was also thrown at the building during the incident though it caused no significant damage. No arrests have been made.
