Brutes shout ‘HEIL HITLER’ and launch gas canisters in horror attack on Jewish shoppers
SAVAGE attackers hurled gas canisters at Jewish shoppers as they shouted “Hitler is on the way to you” in a terrifying attack.
Chants of “Hitler is on the way to you, Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler” were also heard coming from the assailants during the chilling assault.
The shocking anti-semitic violence targeted three members of the Orthodox Jewish community in north-east London.
Three men in a white pickup truck attacked two men and a woman at a retail park in Tottenham Hale on Wednesday evening.
The canisters used a missiles are believed to have contained laughing gas.

A spokesperson from local Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim said none of the victims, who were all wearing traditional religious clothes, were injured.
Shomrim volunteer Michael Blayer said: "This behaviour is appalling, the victims were innocent shoppers at the Tottenham Hale retail park, and they were targeted because they were visibly Jewish.
“The verbal abuse was disgusting, and small objects were thrown towards the victims, making them fear for their immediate safety.”
