A criminal indictment for assault has been filed against an officer serving in Israel Police, an officer assigned to the Jerusalem District, for assaulting chareidim at two different protests last year.

It is reported the assaults took place at two different protests by chareidim, one last year and a second in Elul. It was determined by Justice Ministry Police Investigator Department (PID) that a criminal indictment is warranted as the officer’s actions were unjustifiable.
