Police say a suspect has been arrested on suspicion he stabbed an officer at a protest in Tel Aviv last week against law enforcement’s handling of a probe into a deadly hit-and-run that killed a boy several months ago.
Police say the suspect is a 23-year-old resident of the city of Holon.
The incident occurred during a protest, led by members of the Ethiopian community, who accuse authorities of racism and leniency toward the driver who hit 4-year-old Rafael Adana in May.
The officer who was stabbed was moderately wounded and taken to Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital for medical treatment, police said.
