Six suspects to be charged over racist attack on Palestinian in Jerusalem’s Old City

Six suspects will be indicted over an unprovoked attack on an East Jerusalem Palestinian man last week, which was caught on footage.

Police say that a prosecutor’s statement has been filed and that charges will be submitted in the coming days against the group of suspects, between the ages of 16 and 20.

The attack in the Old City of Jerusalem occurred “without reason and with a racist motive,” according to police.

Footage shows a group of Jewish men surrounding the man and then beating him, as Border Police officers run over to stop the attack.
