| East Jerusalem Man Attacks Light Rail Security Guard |
| 2014-11-07 |
| [IsraelTimes] An East Jerusalem man attacked a light rail security guard on Thursday morning after being asked to provide his identification papers. The incident, which took place at a light rail station near Jerusalem's Old City, began when the security guard asked the man, a resident of the Beit Hanina neighborhood, to show his identification papers, a common practice by security personnel on public transport. Rather than comply, the man punched the guard, who overpowered his assailant and alerted police. After the attacker was tossed in the slammer Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! , police discovered the man was violating house arrest over a separate matter. The attack came as Jerusalem remained on high alert after a terror attack on a light rail train stop the day before left a border policeman dead and a dozen other people injured. |
