A Jew about the age of 50 suffered head wounds on Sunday afternoon, when he was attacked by an Arab on his way to a yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem. Policemen on the scene pursued the assailant, arrested him and took him to the police station where he was interrogated.
The victim also went to the police station to file a complaint against the Arab before being evacuated for medical treatment. Attorney Yossi Nadav of the Honenu legal-aid organization, who is helping the Jew as a victim of a crime said, "My client was brutally attacked in the Old City of Jerusalem solely for being a Jew." Nadav also said, "I am certain that the police will do its work faithfully and will put the attacker on trial."
