The Department of Police Investigations has decided to prosecute a police officer from the Ayalon area and a police volunteer for assaulting a person they arrested for failing to wear a mask, subject to a hearing to be held for them.
According to the suspicion, on July 4, a 24-year-old man was staying with his friends in a public area in Holon without a mask. The police ordered him to identify himself but he ignored their order. After the complainant refused, the police decided to arrest him using force that allegedly included punches, using a taser, and beating the young man in the head.
After investigating the case and examining all the circumstances, the Investigations Department of the police decided that the police officers had used unusual force and therefore it was decided to prosecute them, subject to a hearing to be held in their case.
