A brutal anti-Semitic attack at a train stop in Manchester left a 17-year-old Jewish boy beaten unconscious and several others injured, the Jewish News reported.

Three other Jews — two 18-year-olds and a 20-year-old — were also injured in the assault.

Police, who are treating the incident as an anti-Semitic attack, say three men approached the four victims then verbally and physically assaulted them.

The attack happened Saturday night at Bowker Vale Metrolink station, close to Heaton Park, in the heart of north Manchester's Jewish community, The .

Police have confirmed that the attack is being treated as a hate crime.

According to The Jewish Chronicle, the teenager, who is in hospital with a suspected bleed to the brain, was knocked unconscious.

"This appears to be a particularly serious and worrying anti-Semitic assault,” said Mark Gardner, Director of communications of the Community Security Trust (CST), after police said they were treating the race-hate incident as grievous bodily harm with intent.

“We have offered support to the victims’ families and our thoughts and sympathies are with them at this time. We have also been in close contact with Greater Manchester Police who are conducting a full investigation and we ask that any witnesses come forward.”

The Board of Deputies, the representative body of the British Jewish community, said in a statement: “We were horrified to hear of the horrific antisemitic attack on four young men on a tram in Manchester. This was a brutal, unprovoked and cowardly assault and we hope and expect that the culprits will feel the full force of the law. We send our thoughts and prayers to those injured and to their families.”

Figures released by the CST in March showed that anti-Semitic incidents in Manchester had risen nearly 80 percent over the past 12 months, although much of this was put down to Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
