A 22-year-old Jewish male spent Shabbos in jail after he reported a bogus price tag attack. The man was visiting friends in the Kiryat Moshe area of Yerushalayim on erev Shabbos. He summoned police on Friday, 5 Menachem Av 5773 to report that “slaughter the Jews” was painted on his vehicle and sugar and silicone were poured on the hood.
As police began looking for witnesses to the attack something aroused their suspicion leading to the complainant admitting he did it in the hope of increasing awareness to price tag attacks carried out by Arabs to besmirch Jews. The man will be charged with filing a false police complaint.
