Beit Shemesh man accused of beating wife and young daughter in the street

Police prosecutors indict a man from Beit Shemesh on suspicion of beating his wife and young daughter in the street near their house, law enforcement announces.

The defendant, a man in his 40s, had a history of violent behavior toward his female family members, prosecutors say. Two weeks ago, an argument broke out between him and his daughter, during which he grabbed her phone, slapped her and then broke the device.

Later that evening, the defendant allegedly fought with his wife, assaulting her in the street in front of their children. He threw a glass of water at her, hit her and one of the daughters with a sandal, and chased them down as they fled to a nearby first aid station.

The man allegedly tried to force his way into the building, cursing the staff and attacking a paramedic who tried to keep him from entering. Police were called, and soon came to the scene and arrested him.

During his interrogation, police found that the defendant had been under a court order confining him to his residence at night, and had violated it by leaving the residence. It was not immediately made clear why that order was issued.

Police add that about six months earlier, the defendant assaulted his wife in front of their children, grabbing her by the neck and threatening her.

He is charged with assaulting his wife, assaulting a minor and causing property damage.
