Driver seen running over ultra-Orthodox protester blocking road during protest
Video footage shows a driver running over an ultra-Orthodox protester who was blocking the road during a protest in Jerusalem.
In the clip, several youths can be seen sitting in front of cars at the entrance to the city, when one starts to move, apparently running over one of the demonstrators.
Police said the man sustained an injury to his leg and was in a good condition.
Police said several of the demonstrators were also arrested for damaging vehicles. They also called police officers “Nazis” and told them to “go die in Gaza.”
The ultra-Orthodox are protesting efforts to draft them into the IDF.
