Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice have detained a driver suspected of hitting a protester outside the Petah Tikva police station, lightly injuring her.
Protesters outside the city’s police station complained that a car drove through the crowd, which was largely in the road, lightly hurting one female activist.
Video, apparently taken right after the alleged collision, shows a car driving with a large crowd surrounding it, seemingly trying to stop the vehicle. The car eventually takes off, tailed by a cop on a motorcycle, who had also been in the crowd.
