A short while ago Israeli police arrested a Jaffa resident on the Tel Aviv promenade by the beach on suspicion of threatening random people who he passed by with violence. According to the Police Department’s spokesman, police officers arrived on the scene at Herbert Samuel Street in Tel Aviv after receiving a number of reports from people in the area about the threat.

The man was stopped by civilians on the street.

The local police arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect. Police say that he is a 22-year-old from Jaffa and that they seized the weapon. His identity has not yet been revealed. There are no casualties. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated.

The public is asked to obey the instructions of the police and not to come to the area so as to allow the police to do their job.

Police have not yet revealed what type of weapon was used, but people at the scene said that it was some sort of an improvised gun made from the parts of an Uzi sub-machine gun.

At this time, no one was reported to be seriously harmed by the man. But At 5:29 P.M. local time, a report was received at MDA’s 101 hotline in the Dan area about a woman who suffered from anxiety and a man who was slightly injured in the head while fighting a young man in a violent incident on Herbert Samuel Street, at the corner of Zerubavel in Tel Aviv.

An Israeli policeman was killed in the northern city of Nahariya on Tuesday when he was run over, apparently by a fleeing criminal.

Hussam Sajier, 32, of the Druze community and a resident of Yarka, a volunteer policeman, was called with other police officers to address a suspicion of illegals hiding at a construction site in Nahariya.

During the police team’s inspection of the workers’ permits at the site, a vehicle arrived at the scene and a dispute ensued between the police and the driver, who then escaped and ran over a police officer and the volunteer.

Amir Abu Reish, a policeman, was seriously injured. Sajier died of his wounds.

Large police forces were called to the scene and began extensive searches for suspects and arrested the suspected perpetrator, a 44-year-old resident of Araba, for questioning.

Terrorism was ruled out.

Another 11 workers, residents of the village of Yatta near Hebron, were arrested in connection with the incident.

District Commander Yoram Sofer stated that “an incident in which police officers are harmed while performing their duties is extremely serious. The investigation is ongoing.”
