Police have arrested three suspects in a knife fight that broke out Friday at a Tiberias hotel.
The filmed brawl, which took place on the lawn near the hotel’s swimming pool, led to the stabbing of two individuals involved. They were taken to the hospital in light and moderate condition, police say.
Footage from the scene over the weekend shows around a dozen men and women gathered around a man who appears to have pinned somebody else down near a palm tree. Amid shouting, a young man throws a table at someone else, before a security guard arrives and attempts to break up the fight.
The three men arrested this morning are from Nesher, a city south of Haifa. According to Channel 12 news, those involved in the fight were not guests at the hotel.
Officers brought the trio before a judge in the Tiberias Magistrate’s Court, who has ordered them kept in custody until tomorrow, as police continue to investigate the incident.
