A suspect was arrested Saturday for the attempted robbery of acclaimed Israeli chef Shalom Kadosh, who was seriously wounded during the incident.
The suspect is Ali Adkidak, 41, from East Jerusalem, who has a prior criminal record and was recently released from prison, Hebrew media reports said.
His remand was extended Sunday by another four days.
On Sunday, Kadosh, 74, tried to chase a thief at a gas station after the man stole his wallet from his car. The two tussled and Kadosh fell, banging his head hard on the ground. He was rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center and remains in serious condition.
Kadosh was identified by the press on Friday.
