Palestinian steals car in roadside attack on settler

A Palestinian man attacked a settler on the side of an inter-city road in the West Bank and stole his car, according to police.

The settler, a resident of the Samaria region in the West Bank, says that he was waiting next to his car on the shoulder of Route 505 near the city of Ariel when he saw the suspect running towards him. The man “attacked him and forced his way into the car,” police say in a statement.

The suspect then drove the car “towards the Palestinian villages in the area,” the statement continues.

Police have opened an investigation and are searching the area for the car.
