Wembley Attack
Indian-origin shopkeepers face targeted attacks in Wembley; Somali men suspected
London/IBNS: In a targeted attack, suspected Somali men have been terrorising Indian-origin shopkeepers and restaurant owners in Wembley, United Kingdom, following multiple incidents of vandalism reported in recent days, according to The Times of India.
The latest incident comes days after an attack on Holi revellers last week, prompting local shopkeepers to link the two episodes.
Raising the Holi attack, Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow, said: “Thugs from the Central Mosque attacked the annual Holi celebration in Harrow, attempting to assault over 1,000 peaceful worshippers. Twenty attackers, one arrest… The Met has questions to answer.”
Last week, Manek Chowk Indian Restaurant came under heavy attack twice.

Videos circulating on social media showed attackers wearing thobes and face coverings vandalising the restaurant, overturning chairs and tables and scattering crockery across the premises.
In the second incident, a mob reportedly arrived from the nearby mosque area and began attacking the restaurant. They were joined by another 10–12 people who got off a bus and participated in the vandalism.
The attackers had fled by the time officers from the Metropolitan Police arrived at the scene.
In a separate incident, a Gujarati man was stabbed on Ealing Road and rushed to A&E, the report said.
