Police this morning interrogated a soccer coach in Israel’s Premier League on suspicion of sexual harassment.

In a statement, police say that investigators from the Lev Tel Aviv police station summoned a suspect in his 50s, a foreign national who lives in Israel, following a sexual harassment complaint filed against him over the weekend.

He was released under restrictive conditions as police continue to investigate the complaint, police add.

The complaint was filed by a female taxi driver who alleges he verbally harassed her during a ride, according to Hebrew outlets. The suspect reportedly claimed during his interrogation that he was drunk at the time and couldn’t recall the incident.
