The Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department today questioned a mounted police officer filmed knocking over and running over an anti-government protester in Tel Aviv last week.
The officer, who was questioned under caution, insisted he acted per police regulations and denied intentionally attacking the demonstrator, according to the Haaretz daily.
He was later released without conditions.
