A man is arrested by police on suspicion of attempting to kidnap a young woman in the northern city of Tiberias, police say, adding that the motive is suspected to be terror.

Police say the woman in her twenties reported that a man tried to force her into his vehicle on David Remez Street.

A short time later, police arrested a 51-year-old man from the nearby town of Yafia.

Police say they suspect nationalistic motives, and that the case has been handed over to the Shin Bet security agency.
