Suspected 🤡
"Two masked men threw two #firebombs and a brick at a #London #synagogue on predawn Wednesday morning, in what investigators are treating as a suspected #antisemitic #hatecrime.
Neither bottle ignited, and no damage was caused to the #Finchley #Reform Synagogue, according to the Metropolitan Police and Community Security Trust. Finchley Reform Synagogue leadership and Finchley MP Sarah Sackman said on social media that nobody was harmed in the incident.
No arrests had been made by Wednesday evening, and the Met appealed to locals for information and video surveillance footage that could aid officers in their investigation. Specialists from Counter #Terrorism Police in London are reportedly supporting the investigation."

Harry Holt trained Jack Hannan for a month prior his fight against Johnny Walker in April 1839 choosing the Bald Faced Stag at #Finchley as their headquarters. Well known pedestrian Bob Fuller assisted Holt in training Hannan which may account for his ability to last almost 4hrs in the Ring.
