Israeli man makes apparently false report of attack, is taken into custody

Earlier this evening, a resident of northern Israel called police claiming he had been attacked by three Arab men. When police arrived at the scene, however, it became clear that the man was not injured and had not been attacked, police spokeswoman Luba Samri says.

The Israeli man who made the apparently false report has been taken into custody, and Rosh Pina police officers are investigating the incident.

It was not clear what kind of attack the man alleged.
