3 Jerusalem sanitation workers assaulted in Haredi neighborhood

Three sanitation workers for the Jerusalem Municipality are assaulted in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Shmuel Hanavi.

One of the workers was injured in the chest with a knife and is taken to the hospital, according to the Ynet news site.

Police reportedly arrest three suspects in connection to the attack.

The three workers are residents of the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, the Kan public broadcaster says.

“I condemn violent behavior of any kind, against any group and definitely toward Jerusalem Municipality workers who are doing their jobs faithfully for the city and its residents,” Mayor Moshe Lion says.
