Two Jewish Israeli men were arrested in Jerusalem Tuesday after they allegedly forced an Arab-Israeli Egged bus driver to pull over at the side of the road, then proceeded to shatter the public bus’s windshield with a rock.

Police said that the two, residents of Jerusalem’s Gilo neighborhood, had been riding a scooter when they pressed against the moving bus, forcing the driver to pull over.

The suspects then fled the scene, but were arrested a short while later after police located their scooter.
