Medics are responding to a suspected car ramming at a Haredi anti-enlistment protest near the entrance to Bnei Brak.

In footage of the incident, a black car is seen hurtling into a crowd of ultra-Orthodox demonstrators and then driving away on Route 4.

The ramming left a 16-year-old moderately injured, with trauma to his head and limbs, Magen David Adom says. He is being taken to Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikvah.

Police are reportedly pursuing the vehicle and its driver in a chase along the highway.
