A taxi driver rammed into an anti-government protester in Jerusalem this evening during a demonstration outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence.

The incident, which appears from footage to have likely been an intentional attack, left him momentarily unconscious with a minor injury to his leg.

According to eyewitnesses, the car dragged the protester for 50 meters (164 feet) on Herzog Street.

The driver then fled the scene and was later apprehended by police.
