Rom Braslavski identified as freed hostage attacked at Tel Aviv night club

Rom Braslavski is identified as the former hostage who was attacked at a Tel Aviv nightclub, with his mother pleading with the public to be compassionate toward the former captives.

“Last night there was an incident that I prefer not to comment on at the moment since the matter is already under investigation by the police and I am sure they will handle the matter properly,” Braslavski’s mother Tami writes in a social media post.

“However, I would like to remind you that those who have returned to us may seem as if everything is fine, but they are going through storms inside,” she writes. “No one, not even me or anyone else, can understand what they went through and what they are going through except them, and no one can even imagine. They are in a difficult post-traumatic state and it is important to be more sensitive in words, criticism and actions.”

Police in Tel Aviv are investigating the incident in which Braslavski was allegedly attacked by David Ziton, a former reality show contestant and the partner of popular singer Nasrin Qadri.

According to reports, the former hostage said he stood at the entrance to the club where Qadri was having a party and was refused entrance. When he complained, he was attacked by Ziton.

Police are conducting initial investigations into the case and are looking to question Ziton, but have not yet filed any charges.
