Two separate antisemitic assaults have taken place in Manchester and London over the last few weeks, British police have confirmed.
Greater Manchester Police said that officers have arrested two people in connection with a BB gun being fired at members of the Jewish community on Monday.
Three people suffered minor injuries after being shot from a passing vehicle.
Following extensive CCTV inquiries, officers identified two suspects and arrested them on suspicion of religiously aggravated common assault.
"Threats to our communities will not be tolerated," GMP said, adding that it is continuing to enhance security in Jewish communities across Greater Manchester.
Campaign Against Antisemitism said that while it thanks Greater Manchester Police for its professionalism in apprehending suspects, it argued that extra spending on policing to protect British Jews is "not the solution."
"Rampant extremism and Jew-hatred must be tackled at source, including the use of a conflict thousands of miles away to inflame hatred here in Britain," said CAA.
"Swift justice will be a first step to restoring deterrence for these sorts of crimes. But it is still no substitute for the political and societal leadership that we desperately need to confront the antisemitic and extremist ideologies plaguing this country, with Jews paying the highest cost."
Father, son attacked in separate antisemitic attack
Separately, London's Metropolitan Police is appealing to the public to help identify the attacker responsible for an unprovoked antisemitic assault on a father and son in Markfield Park earlier this month.
Police were called at around 5:30 p.m. on July 4 after a man, aged in his 20s, was assaulted alongside his three-year-old son.
The suspect also made threatening remarks towards the victims as well as the wider Jewish community.
The suspect then left on a red-orange e-bike.
"This was a shocking, unprovoked attack and we know it will cause concern to the local community," said Detective Constable Benny Palmer, who is leading the investigation.
“We're doing all we can to identify the offender and are asking the public to get in touch with us if they have any relevant information.
“Across the Met, we are continuing our work to provide visible, intelligence-led and co-ordinated patrols to protect our Jewish communities and keep people safe," Palmer added.
