Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice arrested a 21-year-old resident of Bnei Brak suspected of attacking an elderly protester during a hostages demonstration earlier this evening.
The suspect will be interrogated at a police station in the Yarkon region, says law enforcement.
He is suspected of beating a 73-year-old protester earlier today, who had been demonstrating outside the Kirya military headquarters in central Tel Aviv.
The wounded protester told Haaretz earlier that he had been walking on the road between cars when he encountered his assailant, on a motorcycle.
“I stopped him. He told me to move. I said I wouldn’t move. He got off the scooter. I told him not to touch me. He started punching me — I didn’t understand what was happening,” he recounted to the Hebrew daily.
