A 21-year-old motorcyclist arrested last night on suspicion of attacking a 74-year-old protester will remain in custody for an extra day, the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court rules.
Police detained the suspect, a resident of Bnei Brak, on suspicion he badly beat a protester during a demonstration for the hostages in central Tel Aviv.
The suspect will remain in detention until tomorrow as officers continue to investigate the incident, say police.
