Two residents of East Jerusalem were arrested Wednesday in the village of Yassif on suspicion of drug trafficking after they rammed a police cruiser and hit a police officer who had been wounded in the leg during the suspects' attempt to escape arrest.
The police officer required medical treatment at the Galil Medical Center. His condition was defined as light with only a leg injury.
The police intend to bring the two suspects to the Acre Magistrates' Court to extend their remand.
