A man in his 20s was arrested last night in a Jewish community near Jerusalem on suspicion of attacking his wife, who was in the advanced months of pregnancy, along with her father, apparently while he was drunk.
The arrest occurred after police officers were called to the scene following a report of a domestic violence incident, and noticed the suspect who attempted to flee.
After a short foot chase, the suspect was detained. In a search of his vehicle, a gun and an Airsoft rifle were seized by police.
This morning, the young man will be brought to the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court for a hearing on the extension of his detention.
