Dozens of youths riot at Jerusalem movie theater, chanting ‘Death to Arabs’; no arrests
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice say they have not arrested anyone in connection to an anti-Arab riot last night in which dozens of Jewish youths were filmed trashing a Jerusalem movie theater while chanting “Death to Arabs” and throwing objects at the employees behind the concession stand counter.
Footage shows masses of young men throwing floor signs, disposable cups and what appears to be a motorcycle helmet at Arab employees at Jerusalem’s Cinema City theater. The workers respond, throwing objects back over the counter while giving the middle finger to the crowd.
Police tell The Times of Israel that the crowd of rioters had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.
“No suspects were detained because they had already left, and the employees were unable to identify the suspects when police were there. We are therefore working off the footage to identify [the suspects],” says a Jerusalem District spokesman.
