A German student was stabbed and seriously injured in a brawl outside a nightclub in Tel Aviv in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The 22-year-old man, a German national living in the central city of Herzliya, was stabbed a number of times outside the venue on Meitav Street.
Police said in a statement that they arrested three suspects — all residents of Raanana and Herzliya — aged 18 and 19.
The three will appear at the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court later on Saturday for a remand hearing.
Israelis packed bars and restaurants across the country on Friday night determined to celebrate the New Year despite rising COVID numbers and fresh restrictions aimed at limiting the revelry.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
