Suspected Haaretz saboteur to be charged today — police

A police spokesperson says a man suspected of attempting to sabotage the Haaretz newspaper’s electrical system and verbally attacking reporter Gidi Weitz will be charged with criminal trespass, threats and willful damage to property.

Police will ask a judge to order the Ramat Gan man, 41, held behind bars for the remainder of the legal proceedings.

He is suspected of hurling insults at [Weitz] during their short conversation and of subsequently sabotaging the electrical system, causing damage to the building systems before leaving the office building.
